who are the other ones?
Any other organism that consumes more resources than it gives back.
The worms during the pre-cambrian
viruses, locusts… pretty much every plague that’s ever happened… brontosauruses started nesting in swamps and cause an ice age…
but i mean, animals evolved to strike balances because animals that didn’t went extinct… so it must’ve happened many times before…
No, animals have not evolved to strike a balance in anyway, the eco system as a whole, possibly, but not animals on their own.
*any way
The biggest differences is those changes occur over thousands if not millions of years thus giving time to species to adapt to new habitats. Many went extinct, but many more arose.
What is devasting is rapid and immediate changes such as an asteroid impact, or volcanic eruption, or humans pumping trillions of tons of co2 while cutting down forests globally within a century.
i’m not talking about mass extinctions
lol. I guess that's why there are no more viruses and locusts...
Seriously tho, as far as locusts, they literally evolved to do what they do on a regular basis. Still going strong...

Not worth talking about viruses... smh.
We don't know, they didnt left any marks. That's the scary part.
Edit - I forgot the /s the ozzies prob got it and the germans not
Go back to 8th grade and relearn the scientific method. Pay attention this time.
Lack of evidence against is not evidence for. Remain open to possibilities, but don't assume.
It would have been funny in a different context, but unfortunately you violated Poe's Law.
That's a spanking.
