Don't forget that all branches of an extant evolutionary tree end at the same level. Today.

"The number of species represented is approximately the square-root of the number of species thought to exist on Earth (i.e., three thousand out of an estimated nine million species), or about 0.18% of the 1.7 million species that have been formally described and named." - David M. Hillis, Derrick Zwickl and Robin Gutell, University of Texas.

Margay cats mimic the calls of its prey, the pied tamarins.

From a sexist point of view this could be a win-win situation:

Higher BMI was associated with poorer cognitive function in women with smaller WHR. Higher WHR, estimating central fat mass, was associated with higher cognitive function in this cross-sectional study (Kerwin et al, 2010).

"Even now the zoologist has scarce begun to dream of defining in mathematical language even the simplest organic forms.

During winter nights the spastic screams of the victims could be heard piercing the arctic air as the decerebrator ratcheted into place (...). It quickly became apparent that the procedure had gone terribly awry when gaunt and emaciated survivors were seen bumbling about in broad daylight, addled beyond repair." - Gilbert Alter-Gilbert.
