The first two are shared with many, many other species, and they are really coming out largely of the brain stem and whatever there is of cortex in those species.

What we do: We take a potential species, we start at freshwater, we add a little bit more salt, when the second tank here will be the same ecosystem as Brazil — right next to the sugar cane fields you can have our plants — the next tank represents Africa, the next tank represents Arizona, the next tank represents Florida, and the next tank represents California or the open ocean.
What we are trying to do is to come up with a single species that can survive anywhere in the world, where there's barren desert.
