How evolution has favoured the different animals with variety of foods, whether it is herbivorous or carnivorous or omnivorous animal. From the taste recognizing perspective of various animals, who, the herbivorous or carnivorous or omnivorous animals are more evolved? Will the 'right choice' of food by them can be the wise choice as well and similarly can the 'wise choice food' be the right choice also?
'Wise' always need not be the right and the right need not be always wise. This is the subtle message every corporate must learn.
Herbivorous animals (vegetarians) are relatively more evolved when compared to carnivorous (non vegetarians) or omnivorous (eat both vegetarian and non vegetarian food) animals. Whenever the nature has provided variety and choice to someone, it is considered as sign of support for the progressive evolution.
The herbivorous animals have diverse choices of food. The herbivorous animals are very fortunate to enjoy great abundance and richness of food in terms of nutritive value and taste when compared to omnivorous & carnivorous animals.
The carnivorous animals do not enjoy such a great choice. In the given time, they have to settle the hunt and complete eating. It is true for both carnivores and scavengers. Getting a hunt is not so easy for these animals and hence the best choice or selection of a prey, the nature/evolution has never provided to these animals.
In the case of omnivorous animals, only what is available determines or limit their choice.
Has the abundant choice or selection possibility anyway favoured the herbivorous animals to become more evolved intellectually? Unfortunately, none of the herbivorous animals despite having diverse food choices/preferences have greatly evolved. They live in constant fear, hardly enjoy the taste of the food they eat and are not so creative intelligent in their defense against predator.
Whereas, the carnivorous and omnivorous animal, despite having limited choice of food, are h! ighly ta lented and intelligent in hunting. They have great strategy, team effort, strength and focus in winning the prey.
What message the corporate has to learn from the above? Having diverse choice or opportunity never offers progress or intellectual growth or evolution. It is a very customary belief that success is possible only when plenty of opportunity/choice is available. The right and or the wise choice alone ensure success.
The habitat selection of giant panda is the best example that can teach us about what is right and wise choice. Panda had chosen to live in the bamboo forest. Bamboo leaves does not have rich nutritive value or have any other merits. From the food choice point of view, it may not be the right choice, but it is indeed a wise choice as it could help Panda to avoid competition and predation in the bamboo forest.
If we look at the feeding ecology of scavenging animals, especially the powerful hyena, we can learn that they chose to become scavengers and it was indeed a wise choice although it may not be the right one. They do hunt when they find an opportunity.
Remember that it is not having plenty of choices makes success but making the right choice be it 'right' or 'wise' alone ensure growth and development.
