Man, all the animals get these super powers, like venom, agility, speed…. and all I get are these damn emotions that are broken half the time.

Humans are far more agile and versatile than any other animal. Just because you can't climb like a chimpanzee doesn't mean you couldn't if you practiced. You could juggle, swim, backflip, sculpt... If you practiced.

One time I took mushrooms and climbed onto this cool sideways tree over a river. It seemed like the animal instinct part of my brain that is good at balancing and swinging upside and crazy stuff was unlocked or awakened. I feel like we have the factory setting but it's disabled in our current build.

Also we have tools. I can't bare hand climb a tree but if u gave me spikes and some iron foot pegs to drive in I could climb a tree higher than a cat would be comfortable doing.

Of the air breathing marine animals I believe we have them close to beat with scuba gear too.

Haven't even touched on drug enhancement. Imagine if aging dominant males in a lion pride for example had access to some T. Could probably fend off the young buck usurpers a lil while longer.

We are also giants. Most mammals are rodents, we are bigger than insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds.

Aren't elephants and whales mammals? And bears? lol

There are 77 species of whales, 3 species of elephants and 8 species of bears. Sun bears in particular come in around 200lb so they're not massive compared to humans.

Compare this to over 2000 species of rodents.

Fish and arthropods by far make up the largest amount of animals by total biomass and we outsize maaaaany of those species by orders of magnitude.

We have incredible fine motor skills and dexterity. Opposable thumbs are super important but we are where we are today due to our incredibly fine motor skills as well. And our dexterity is disturbing. Imagine tens and hundreds of thousands of years ago, these 2-legged primates being able to fatally injure you from range, oftentimes from out of view. You're an animal, you're used to running away from things chasing you, but now these things can also hit you from dozens of feet or meters away? Throwing rocks and spears or shooting arrows must have been terrifying for these animals.
