Gaia

Gaia is the Earth's mother and keeper, guarding, shielding, protecting the future. Gaia is fed up with humans as kings; Earth is a mess with ecosystem dings. Humans out of control, are now a sore; endless fighting, threatening nuclear war. Gaia must act before it's far too late, to choose a new king of beasts to create. Primates societies are too weak, too dependent on politic's critique. So Gaia looked at social insect clans, with their stable, safe, old monarchy brands. So it was a choice between the top three: the ant, the termite and the social bee. In the end it was the ants that were crowned as new king of beasts; a choice well-founded.
