Which creature would prevail after us?

Question

If all humans (and primates too) suddenly ceased to exist, what animal do you think would become the next dominant species?

I'll venture the guess of raccoons. They've got those tiny little hands to grab things.

Answer 1

rats? I just saw Ratatouille, if they could run a kitchen who knows what other human roles they can fulfill? lol

Answer 2

The horseshoe crab, since they have been on the earth for approximately 500 million years and are radiation and disease hardened. They'll venture onto land.
