True. [img]smile.gif[/img] The stronger and healthier animal has more chance of survival.

But, sure, survival depends a lot on your luck, but the stronger you are, and healthier, and smarter, etc., the easier you will get out of a tough situation. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Let's say that two puppies fall into the same river under the same circumstances, except that one is weaker than the other. (Poor puppies.) The stronger puppy would probably have an easier time to swim to the shore, while the weak puppy would probably drown. [img]smile.gif[/img] Silly example, I know. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
