Look, I get it, they're adorable, but they made the world's most flammable trees their sole source of nutrition. The whole survival strategy of eucalyptus is to burn down everything around it. I'm surprised more of the trees aren't on twitterhttps://twitter.com/Carolyn_Cole/status/1217197455877345282 …

You'd also see the flip side, like species that live under beds and grab your exposed feet during the night unless you propitiate them with nightly gifts of food. The biosphere would arrange itself around the likes and phobias of the only species with the power to grant survivalpic.twitter.com/FcW6gHSlaT

Evolution can work pretty fast if the destination goal is simple enough (Like the elephants evolving not to have tusks https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/wildlife-watch-news-tuskless-elephants-behavior-change/ … )

I think the reason that worked so fast, which is incidentally a prominent point in that article, is that almost all the elephants that did have tusks were killed for the ivory in the past 30 yrs (~1-2 generations of elephants). This is a byproduct of extermination, not evolution.
