Do the Souls take over the minds of জন্তু জানোয়ার on Earth?

I know they take over the minds of humans... but do they take over the animals, too? Like সারমেয় and মার্জার and such?
 Do the Souls take over the minds of জন্তু জানোয়ার on Earth?

I don't believe so, because Wanderer ব্যক্ত the Souls take over the predominant life form on a planet. Also, Melanie fears coyotes will attack them in the desert, and a Seeker was actually attacked দ্বারা a coyote. These aren't the actions of a peaceful soul.

They only take the bodies of the dominant species, but if another species is found to be sentient, they consider taking their bodies as well, like on the আগুন Planet, they are thinking of colonising the Walking ফুলেরডালি in addition to the আগুন Tasters.

Yeah, the book never mentioned the Souls taking over the জন্তু জানোয়ার on Earth. However, I don't see why they wouldn't. They've taken over lots of other species before--why not সারমেয় অথবা মার্জার অথবা মাছ অথবা tigers?

Also, here's a thought: I wonder if the Souls could take over the plants on Earth? I don't think they do, but I wonder if it's even possible that they could. Didn't Wanda say she's been a ফুল before on a different planet?

They টাট্টু take over the bodies of sentient beings (emotions, brains, etc.) so our plants would not be suitable for them. Plants on other worlds are capable of thought, as shown দ্বারা the See Weeds who communicate through thought.

I don't think so. Do আপনি remember when the Seekers assumed Wanderer/Melanie and The Seeker (Lacey) had been killed দ্বারা জন্তু জানোয়ার in the desert? Surely if there had been souls in the জন্তু জানোয়ার they wouldn't have thought that.

Completely true. I don't think I've every even thought of that before. I mean, I didn't think the Souls took over the animals, but I still don't see why they wouldn't. I'd think they'd take over every living thing they could. But, as আপনি pointed out, there's no way the Souls took over the animals.
