What animal and elephants?


Two unrelated teasers:

1- What animal(s) could you kill every single one of, and yet have more of them in a year's time?


2- What do Elephants have that help their species to survive that no other species has?

Number 2 is right. Number one is not.

What animal and elephants?


May not be the answer you had in mind, but it works.
Alternative answer:
ostriches

Not what I was thinking of either. How do you figure?

Not an animal but frogs or butterflies might work...

Is this significant?

Well, if you kill all the baby elephants then more will be born by next year. And if you kill all the ostriches then more will hatch next year.

nnnnnnnn- No. There are no tricks in the way I worded the question.


BicycleTree- If you killed baby elephants, there would still be elephants in the world. I'm talking like every single one of animal X.

I'm talking eradication of every single cell belonging to this animal, so if it were an osterich, frog or butterfly, this would include their eggs, spawn or pupae.

I totally think I know the answer, but I don't know how to do that writing in white then pushing select type of writing. (Wha? seriously don't laugh. I don't know this type of stuff). But trust me, I got the answer.

Find an animal that is on the borderline of samespecies with another species. Eradicate one of them. Wait a year and chances are the other species spread out a bit and you have more!

Mules... their DNA is still there if you don't kill all possible mule parents too!

but you've still killed all mules. The question did not mention DNA.
