So, all creatures on earth, as seen from the center of the galaxy?

The humans in the satellite still win, in that case, about half of the time.

The rest of the time it's probably one of the falcons.

As seen from the any point at the edge of the observable universe

Which edge? One where our local galaxy cluster is blueshifting towards or redshifting away from?

Akshully I’m pretty sure the edge of the observable universe is redshifted to infinity everywhere by definition

If there were alien life, would this change the answer? since the question is “animal” and the kingdom of animals is a taxonomic classification of stuff on earth, I would assume the answer still remains the same
