Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “Not only does every animal live at the expense of some other animal or plant, but the very plants are at war.... The individuals of a species are like the crew of a foundered ship, and none but good swimmers have a chance of reaching the land.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
