Solution

The supreme nature of an organism may depend on the ability of the brain to think or on intelligence factor, relative size of the body etc. The whale is a large animal and needs larger brain to control the body but posses less thinking power and intelligence. The humans are considered as the supreme individuals because of the more brain capacity (power of thinking and intelligence) and relatively small size of the body.
