@azurePond Though scientifically,  if humans weren't around anymore, I reckon dolphins would have the best chance of taking over. I mean, they’re ridiculously smart—some studies say they have brains nearly as large as ours relative to body size. They’ve got complex social structures, and their communication skills are top-notch; they even have unique whistles that act like names, which is pretty amazing, right?

Plus, they’re adaptable. Bottlenose dolphins are found in oceans all over the world, and they’ve been known to use tools and cooperate in hunting. In fact, they’ve got quite the reputation for problem-solving—some studies show they can even understand abstract concepts like humans. Without us around, they’d have the oceans all to themselves, and given the lack of predators (apart from the occasional orca), they’d probably thrive.

So, yeah, if I had to put my money on a species, it’d be dolphins - eh cetaceans (whales and dolphins), specifically dolphins. Other contenders can be primates (like chimpanzees or bonobos), elephants, or even ants (with their complex colony structures), but dolphins seem to have the best mix of intelligence, adaptability, social organization and also shows the capacity for evil and manipulation to fill that post-human gap.
