Humans? Legendary assholes.
Dolphins? Assholes.
Cats are notorious for being jerks.

Dogs, ducks, geese, seagulls, crows...all have dickish individuals.

What're some species that would be least likely to solve a crossword puzzle, but still produce a significant percentage of assholes?

Like are there any shrimp out there that are just little fuckers?

We’ve had hummingbird feeder for a long time. There’s plenty of nectar to go around but the birds are super territorial and will chase others off. Real aerial combat.

Bastard assholes. Hate them, and they me.

So we all start out as little assholes. For some, little has changed aside from size.

I'm so glad someone else can learn this. Actually came to say this about hermit crabs. They truly are extremely helpful to each other like this. Conga line shell swap as they grow.

Dumb and mean.

In the spring, the males travel in packs and try to corner individual females. Their usual downfall is that their aggressive mating behavior is also aggressive fighting behavior, and nine times out of ten the pack members will completely forget who they were chasing and attack each other.

They have no natural predators in the US, and they both love eating up trees and crops. Spotted lanternflies are estimated to be causing hundreds of millions of dollars in agricultural and forestry damages in Pennsylvania alone. Marmorated stink bugs cause even more agricultural damage, although they don't tend to hurt the trees themselves so much compared to the lanternflies.

Lanternflies are also annoying as hell to deal with because they can jump pretty far distances, making them hard to quickly kill. Marmorated stink bugs breed like mad, love to invade homes, and as their names would suggest they have a potent odor as a self-defense mechanism that they love to use on you if they feel like it.
