Disregarding the Human race as a possibility?

Question

If Aliens really are paying regular visits to the Earth, what species do you think they're most likely to contact or monitor?

Answer 1

Ants as they are seperate beings that come together to work as one massive being!

Answer 2

As far as I know they brought us here so they're probably checking on all of us.

Answer 3

Cows!

They keep killing and dissecting them in South America!

Or maybe Ronnie McDonald is an alien!

lol

Answer 4

Well, cattle is one of them. Apparently, they are kidnapping cattle. As for the others, IDK.

Answer 5

Trout. No one ever suspects the trout...

Answer 6

Nematodes. They are the most abundant life form on the planet!



"If all the matter in the universe except the nematodes were swept away, our world would still be dimly recognizable, and if, as disembodied spirits, we could then investigate it, we should find its mountains, hills, vales, rivers, lakes and oceans represented by a thin film of nematodes. The location of towns would be decipherable, since for every massing of human beings there would be a corresponding massing of certain nematodes. Trees would still stand in ghostly rows representing our streets and highways. The location of the various plants and animals would still be decipherable, and, had we sufficient knowledge, in many cases even their species could be determined by an examination of their erstwhile nematode parasites."

Answer 7

I think they would monitor Bacteria and Virus.

Lets face it, microorganisms out number humans by billions on the face of the earth and indeed, they are our biggest threat.

They are also a species subject to much faster evolution than the rest of us so they make a good study model.

Also, from a sampling point of view, it would be easier for our alien guests to take samples of microorganisms than taking us!!!

Cool question.

Answer 8

white mice, the answer gained from the original question was 42, and thus becomes the next question.

Answer 9

Dolphins?  :-)

Answer 10

bugs, most likely because we need them to live.  if they took control of insects, they could take control of us.

Answer 11

a goat

Answer 12

Cats - any aliens monitoring earth would see that people who own cats are really servants to their cats - therefore cats would be viewed as the superior species

Answer 13

Moles.

There are moles among us, and we never suspect anything!

Beware the moles, especially the grey ones with almond eyes.

You heard it here first - spread the word.

Aliens are moles among us.

Answer 14

Most definitely dolphins - as they have the intelligence but not the Ego - which blocks many a communication attempt.

Answer 15

Probably whichever species they could relate to the most. If they themselves are aquatic they would probably see an aquatic creature as the dominant species. You get my drift.

Answer 16

If they came to visit--*if*--then I would imagine they would want to know as much about Earth as possible.  Since we're the most powerful species they would have to communicate with us eventually.  I don't think they would chose to do this via anal probes either.

Answer 17

tapeworms and other parasitic creachures possibly why they use anal probes and animal mutilation so often

Answer 18

Im an alien as are 50% of the worlds population

Answer 19

If they were the psychic, telepathic, empathic type aliens probably the whales and dolphins. My pick is the humpback.

If they were tiny aliens probably ants. Ants seem weirdly intelligent and able to communicate.

Answer 20

none, from the way things are going, this place isnt worth the stop.

Answer 21

roaches... the only creatures that are well adapted to changing world conditions.

Answer 22

It depends on the kind of aliens.If they are good and have good messages,they will go to whom is alike,and ready for that.If they are afraid they might just watch over from a distance.If they are mean,or,evil,they will want to harrass and scare.

Answer 23

socks and shortie pants. They steal them from the washing machine, especially when you overload it....they need them to power their flying saucers.

Answer 24

Whales, dolphins etc.

Most of the earths' surface is water so I think they would explore it first.

Whales are intelligent and certainly large enough to be noticed!

PS - I had not seen how many of you agreed with me before responding (how strange and unusual!)
