Yes, because there's plenty of time to react when a freaking METEOR STRIKES THE PLANET.

Will you try listening to me for once?  MEEs do NOT give you time to react.  You adapt right then and there or you die.  And guess what?  The ecosystem is still in tact.  After five or six of them (at least).  Gee, I wonder why?

Salanewt

We are starting to talk about mass extinction events now, aren't we? Anyway, there is adaptation, as well as planning ahead. I mean, you can not survive a giant chunk of anything falling from the sky at that speed (or even a small object) because if it hit or pierces you, it will kill you. To adapt takes time, to change in dire times takes seconds. Chances are, if an animal has lived one way for their life, and then they change to survive, they will revert back to the way that they were before that change (unless following the natural course of evolution).

Have a nice day.
Oh yeah baby, £ me harder.

Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Adepts stronger.

Yoshi's Lighthouse is a hacking website in progress. Why not check it out if you like Yoshi or the Mario & Luigi games?

I believe the canadian goberment is too stupid because they think the solution to the extinction of the elk species is to slaughter the cannis lupus arctos and canis lupus Lycaon(timer and artic wolf). By doing so they are also putting in exctinction the wolf species.

Durza

It really depends. If an animal is forced to change its diet, and the original food source isn't available any more, it will adapt or die. Chances are, it adapts, and doesn't eat the original food anymore. Though species like the giant panda are dying out because they're over specialised and can't change their diet.

@Role, we're currently going through the sixth mass extinction.
It's not a lie if you don't want to be believed. You're can't be wrong if you don't think you're right.

Salanewt

While I still take the same stance on animal welfare as I did before, governments choose to selectively hunt specific species in order to prevent others. If there is a surplus of deer, letting them all live might reduce the amount of plant matter. If there is a surplus of wolves, they may target animals that have fragile populations. I don't exactly agree with this, but I can easily support it if it will help protect our fragile ecosystems overall.

However, the post before FelixWolf's was uploaded back in 2009, so some could argue that this conversation is dead. Would it be acceptable to revive the conversation, or should the topic be locked?

Agreed. Stop necroposting, especially when I can't understand a word you're saying.  Requesting the locking of this topic.

Technically it is not necroposting, as this is still a valid topic of discussion even today. If, on the other hand, this topic were NOT valid, like some of the older Golden Sun Hacking topics, it would be locked.

The post in question is not only illiterate, but has very little to do to the topic prior to the post.
Durza's reply tries to talk about a point I don't even remember because IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO.

Aile~♥

Hell, you know what? Point taken. I can't make sense of Felixwolf's post at ALL.

Topic locked, BTW.
