Life, in all its shapes and sizes, is extraordinary. The simple idea of any species’ existence in the first place is a miracle in and of itself. Nature, through its painstakingly slow process of trial and error known as evolution, has been made in such a way that almost every nook and cranny on the planet has become home to a particular species of plant or animal that fit together to near perfection. And not only that, but the fact that all of these species strike such a perfect balance with each other that, given the right circumstances, this equilibrium can go on seemingly forever.
