They gather around water and moist land. They multiply and destroy the medium leaving a PH damaged environment and move on to fresh terrain. They will eventually die from running out of suitable terrains. They may change in time.
But they never learn. They don't evolve fast enough..and they don't live very long.
These are simple and primitive organisms without thought for the future. All that is important is others like them survive.
Those unlike them, they will destroy.

Me too.
Human Beings would, in my opinion, be the correct answer here.

@Marcel3405 Yes BUT, humans are somewhat akin to a virus in that we spread out, infest, breed and eventually destroy the host ( environment) then simply move on to the next host and repeat the cycle.
Animals in the wild do migrate from one environment to the next but only long enough to gain nutrition while the environment they have just left recovers and re-grows, etc.
That, imo, is the vast difference between humans and the animals.
@Triphid I was thinking Bacteria when I posted this question.
My real question is what is the difference in the end.
@PondartInc Bacteria, most of them at least, are harmless to the environment and in fact are quite beneficial whereas Humans, well that IS another story.
Bacteria. You have me at "simple organisms."

Point of reference? Or satire?
@PondartInc
Joking.
Beavers?

Beavers are helpful to the environment.
@PondartInc not if they impede water movement into a reservoir and the reservoir almost goes dry.
@Lorajay That is an effect on humans. Not on the environment. They dam creeks and backup and store water. They create new environments for other animals.
Dams and reservoirs are man made and cause havoc for wildlife.
@PondartInc ironically, the way beavers help the environment is by destroying it. When beavers cut trees near streams they cause massive erosion and imbalances in the Ph along the river. After several decades this allows trees that thrive in high Ph a competitive advantage. It is similar to the way some seeds need wildfires before they can germinate.
The help beavers give to the environment is relative to an environment that evolved to contain them. Saying that beavers are good for the environment is like saying cities are good for the environment because it provides a habitat for rats, pidgeons, and humans.
@PondartInc Kind of like gophers and moles are good for the soil by aerating it and mixing in organic material, though bad for our gardens and individual plants.
I guessed bacteria. I'm pretty sure it's not roaches because people I know that have them seem to keep them. This time of year I always have an Ant Invasion and they never seem to move on so it must not be ants. Mice seem to stick around forever as well.

It could be either Bacteria or humans, right?
I don't see the correct answer here,
Humans.
