Editing Aliens (section)

===Alien Animals===
Although most depictions of aliens in science fiction are intelligent creatures, realistically they would be far outnumbered by non-sapient aliens with the intelligence of animals. Indeed, seeing as it took billions of years for Earth to evolve intelligent life, it is likely that most planets with life in the universe wouldn't have any sapient organisms to create civilization. Still, seeing as this is kind of a boring truth, most science-fiction stories with "alien animals" in them have them exist mainly to be the native wildlife of an actually intelligent alien's home planet.
