Cockroaches

There's about 4,000 species of cockroaches -- 30 of which are associated with human habitats. Although they prefer warmer climates, the hardiness of cockroaches enables them to survive without sustenance in any area for at least a month. Because of this, it is commonly said that they will "inherit the Earth" due to their remarkable endurance in inhospitable environments.
