There it was! A giant ant, walking leisurely half- way down a 60 foot tree! Yes, I can see pretty good at a distance.The ant amazed me with this feat.I pondered for a moment and recalled seeing other critters doing similar things.Like, the raccoon climbing up the wall of a house and a squirrel or a woodpecker climbing up the side of a tree .I have also witnessed spiders spicing things up as they rappelled (from tree branches) on a thin thread of their best made silk .
Cool bats hang upside down to fall into their flight while the sleepy-eyed possums and sloths love to hang around upside down without a care in the world! These creatures are the so called lower forms of animals.The 'sorry critter' in terms of climbing or descending from trees of great height, is Man.
While the lower animals mentioned here have all their bio-engineering built within (such as low
centers of gravity, tails or claws etcetera ), Man amusingly confounds the high climbing/descending feat with assorted devices such as, cranes, ropes,scaffolds, ladders, spiked or steel-toed boots,helmets, harnesses, hooks,parachutes and a lot of false bravado.How is it that the lower forms of animals are better equipped than Man( the higher animal) to accomplish such feats? As a simple hoboclown detective,I can only conclude that Man is a sorry critter ! Hmmmmm...
