I feel like they're an under-discussed/underreported (at least outside of academia) part of animals
Many animal matriarchies have them and young male 'teenagers' complete the rest of their learning in bachelor groups sometimes actually guided by a much older 'alpha' male

Those Elephants did not complete their species specific socialization and ended up maladjusted with no older male to learn from/keep them humble. Literal daddy issues.

Have you guys seen this?

An orphan elephant was adopted by a herd of buffaloes and grew up to be the matriarch of the herd:

It's a pretty famous story, especially the part about her killing bulls frequently, and sometimes calves.
Socialization is important.

I routinely shove my fingers in my dog's mouth to pull out things like metal shards or rocks that she refuses to drop, all while she is growling and snarling. Do you think she'll eventually snap and rip my finger off?

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

In terms of acceleration, some tiny critters like springtails can mog any macro scale creature. It's an interesting result of size dynamics.

It's always fun to go to the beach and watch these little dudes zoom around. I don't know how the seagulls ever catch them.

Only if they're somehow forced to fight to the death. In nature animals do risk assessments and often the smaller animal "wins" because it's not worth the risk of injury for the bigger animal.
Such as wolverine vs wolf
