Frog and Toad are not friends, and are about to face the Prisoner's Dilemma
Slylock Fox, 7/8/24
For hundreds of thousands of years, between H. Sapiens, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and H. erectus, there were multiple human species coexisting on the planet. But they mostly lived in small bands separated from one another by great distances, and weren't that different from one another (DNA evidence even shows that they occasionally interbred when they did meet up). At any rate, H. sapiens soon prevailed, and the differences between the various subgroups of our species, which we have historically placed so much importance on, are little more than a rounding error, genetically.
The animals of the Slylockverse seem to have taken over our institutions wholesale, but surely the most difficult part the transition was the idea of equality of all citizens before the law, something even we have trouble with. Here, the varying abilities and evolutionary adaptations of various animals become important aspects of police work, despite the fact that everyone is wearing clothes and, presumably, living most of the time on land. It's confusing! Also confusing is the fact that Slylock is wasting his time on a minor harassment incident when we're watching a straight-up murder happen in the background. Some animals are more equal than others, and fully aquatic animals are the least equal of all!
