It's also worth noting that some living "fossils" have survived millions of
years, outlasting their contemporaries simply because they suffered from
extraordinarily perfect engineering.
Crocodiles, Ants, Welwitchia's and Coelacanths spring to mind, but there
are others.
My point is that some things are simply destined to outlive others, unless
they are deliberately destroyed, or their ecosystem is neglected.
