Nothing survives ground zero. ****roaches can survive the radiation output, but if ****roaches are living in a building that's hit by a nuclear bomb they will die.

And don't albatrosses need a lot of space to take off? Like a LOT of space?

I don't remember, but this scenario is probably worse than a car blowing up. Besides, how would a ****roach travel through the ocean anyway? I doubt they can swim very much, and something that small would get eaten in no time.

So the roach basically has a very good chance of surviving the wreck, but there still exists the problem of predator and prey...  :)

I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

there's still the problem of predator and prey whatever you morph. a lot more if you morph roach, but even if you don't it's still there.

Radiation isn't always physically 'hot'. You can die of rad and not change your body temperature by even one whole degree.
Oil coats what it hits, burning as it goes. Much worse than a simple explosion. In water, it's even worse, because water SCATTERS the oil, spreading the fire. The only way to not burn is to get AWAY from the oil, FAST.

Albatrosses DO need a lot of space for takeoff, but only from flat land. If you are elevated [ship's bridge or crow's nest], you just jump off. If you have heat, you use it for updrafts. Really, jumping off the edge of an oil tanker, roughly thirty feet above the water, is more than enough.

Terns, petrels, and shearwaters take off almost straight up, and ducks DO take off straight up. All are good travelers and swimmers.

Still, albatross is best, in my opinion. You could make the round trip from the Caribbean to the NYC in a matter of an hour and a half, no lie. Plenty of time to demorph in the same trip, without stopping. NICE.

My first thought, oddly, was flying fish. xD

But I guess some kind of sea bird would be more useful, wouldn't it?

I would want to morph into Aquaman so that I can swim away and talk to the fish about nuclear waste dumping.

I'd do one of two...if I did sperm whale, I could dive straight down, then turn one direction or another to swim away from the blast.

OTOH, I could also do arctic tern, champion long distance migrater, and fly away. It's hard to pick!

A red-tailed hawk that is for sure.

The reason why is pretty simple: I have always wanted to fly,to get that feeling and the rush of it all.Plus a morph like that would be handy if you was traveling with family somewhere and you flew overhead you could always report if it was about to rain or maybe a traffic accident ahead of them.
