This work explores the sense of value we place on both animal species and the environment. What is something worth? Attempting to highlight evolution, one animal species possibly goes extinct while another succeeds. It is more of an invitation to make an educated guess about a species' dominance, survival, and evolution, as it reflects the human culture of classification and value systems that are at odds with the natural world. The buffalo turns its head to the right in what may appear to be noticing the butterflies, something it would not care less about, but we would.
