In "Hathor" we're told that a Queen must take DNA from the proposed host
species so that rejection with the larva doesn't occur. Animals and humans may
share some genetic markers since they both developed on Earth, but it may not
be enough.
Presumably they can, but they won't because :
*The opposable thumb!! Humans can manipulate things with greater dexterity
than a dog say. They can hold weapons - a dog could not, nor could any other
earth creature. Therefore humans are much better for using things.
* Vocal chords. Not that many animals are probably capable of mimicking the
voice structure of humanoid spieces. A Goa'uld will need to communicate with
other Goa'uld and, as they're all already in human hosts, it will need a
humanoid host for this. Ergo can't go in.
* Demeaning.No grubby animal is good enugh..
If stuck as a last resort I guess they would but again the problem is that
the Goa'uld are tailored for a particular spieces through the mating process
with the queen. So therefore they can't just leap from human to dog - the
DNA is incompatible (despite the 9x% similarity).Maybe it'd last a short
while (as Im guessing) but not long enough. So they'd never chose to try.
But technically presumably its ok if they went about it the right way

Chimps, Gorillas, Orangs, and Baboons, along with many of the primate
species have the opposable thumb, but their brains are probably not
developed enough for a Goa'uld to be able to do more than survive and
have rudimentary control in one of these creatures. I think it's a
question of brain power as well as genetics.
I've been thinking about the question of how the Goa'uld snake is
able to be so intelligent with so little brain mass. I think the answer
to this problem can be found in the Goa'uld capacity for genetic memory.
A Goa'uld snake in the wild (without a host) would probably be operating
off of the skill sets provided by its brain. This would be mostly
survival and seeking-out-a-host skills. The genetic memories may be
inaccessible to the snake, even though they are contained within its
body.
It's like a CD Rom disk that contains programs and information. That
information is within the disk, but the disk can't do any thing with it.
It is only when the disk is inserted into a computer and run through the
processor that the information, or program, is accessible. If you put a
CD copy of a game into a computer that is not advanced enough for that
game and try to play it, the game might run slowly, or it might not be
able to run at all. A Goa'uld in a baboon host might be able to control
the baboon's actions, but it might be like trying to play Sim City on a
Radio Shack TRS-80 computer.

Gorillas, Chimps and Baboons are probably the closest to Humans
genetically, but there are still major differences in the anatomy. A
baboon's vocal cords are in a different part of the throat than a
Human's vocal cords. If a baboon were to be suddenly given the knowledge
of how to speak a Human language, it would still have great difficulty
in trying to speak that language because there would be many Human words
that would be unpronounceable.
> * Demeaning.No grubby animal is good enugh..
There is also the question of the social structure (if any) in which
these animals live. Take Baboons. A Goa'uld / baboon would probably end
up breaking too many of the social rules within the troop (maintaining
one's place in the social ranking, avoiding direct eye contact, etc.)
and be cast out or be seriously injured in a fight. Even if the Goa'uld
took a host that was one of the bachelor males, outside the troop, it
would still probably cause that baboon to exhibit behavior that the
other baboons could not accept.

I don't think that the genetics of the host is as limiting a factor
as you, and others, have suggested. Look at the snakes living in that
lake in The First Ones. They had not been bread by a queen that had
taken genetic material from a Human. They had been taking the Unas, and
any other animals and/or aliens that happened to venture too close to
the water. Yet, these snakes seemed to have no problem taking over Human
hosts. And that archaeologist friend of Daniel's (I forgot his name)
showed no indication that his body was rejecting the snake.
These snakes may not have had the vast store of genetic information
that Apophis has, but they may have off-world memories from Goa'uld who
chose to return to their home world.
Mike
It makes you wonder how the Goa'uld ever made it into space. The Unas were
definitely not capable of such refinements. I am betting it had to do with
the Asguard. One of them probably showed up on the planet to put a stargate
into place (or which ever race is responcible for the gates), pritty soon
there is a small interstellar colony on ht eplanet, then one of them goes
for a bath and now you have a Goa'uld alien. Now the Goa'uld collects the
memories of the alien, but the alien isn't very strong or phisically
desireble. So it's back to the Unas with all the memories of an Asguard.

No major argument from me on that.
Even though they are primitive by "civilized" Human standards, the
Unas are still much more advanced than the non-human primates on Earth.
The Unas were shown using crude tools and recording events and
activities in drawings on the cave walls. This indicates that the Unas'
brain has evolved to the point where it can deal with some basic
abstract concepts like language and representations. This also indicates
that they have developed the dexterity needed to use simple tools. The
Unas may be at the low end of the range of development that the Gao'uld
could effectively control. In some ways the Unas may be a better host
than Humans because the Unas would be easier to control.
I cited the events in The First Ones as an example of how the snakes
could take control of species that their queen had not taken genetic
material from.

Again, no big argument here. But, I'm not sure that the early alien
exposure would have been with the Asguard. It could have been with the
Ancients, who have been said to have been the original gate builders.
I think that there could have been many of these snakes that have
made it off the planet over the years that never connected with the
Goa'uld. And for various reasons (like infecting a being that is too
advanced, or the infection was detected and the infected being was
rejected by its kind), these snakes return to their home world. These
snakes would then contribute their off world knowledge and experiences
to the genetic memory of the future generations of the snakes there.

Now there's a fun thought. I'm not sure that Apophis would be able to

The Goa'uld take over a band of Gorillas and venture into a city.

I do have one more to post and it's a bit on the lengthy side. After I

machine froze up on me. The computer is now applying to the Social Welfare
Department for Abused Computers for Refuge from Irate Owners. It's unlikely

An apocryphal tale with a British flavour. Best read slowly to savour what
is to come. Perhaps enjoyed with a glass of chianti. :o)
The Scene. The Tok'ra currently supervise a 'zoo' of animals that have been
taken over by the Goa'uld. They also keep other animal specimens. Teal'c is
invited to come along and help look after them.
DAY 1
Teal'c is taken round the zoo by the Head Keeper and shown the different
animals that he's going to be feeding and looking after over the next few
days. He's taken to the aviary where they keep their birds which includes
rare finches and other exotic specimens. After that he's shown the Ape
House and the apiary, where they keep honey bees. Finally, he's shown the
Goa'uld lions, but the Head Keeper tells Teal'c that he has to be very
careful with them, because they'll eat absolutely anything.
DAY 2
Under the supervision of the Head Keeper, Teal'c feeds the birds, the
monkeys, the bees and the lions. The Keeper, satisfied with Teal'cs
performance decides he can go on holiday for a few days, knowing his animals
are in safe hands.
DAY 3
The next morning, Teal'c turns up at the Bird House to discover that
some of the birds, including the rare finches are lying dead on the ground.
Teal'c panics and wonders what he can do. Over the background noise of the
other animals, he hears the lions and remembers the Keeper saying they'll
eat anything. So, he sweeps up the birds and throws them to the lions who
devour them.
Teal'c then goes to the Ape House, and to his horror, he finds some
chimpanzees also lying dead on the floor. Again, he panics and carries the
corpses over to the lion cages who once again eat the cadavers.
Teal'c then thinks what else could possibly go wrong today. He makes his
way to the bee hives and they start swarming around him and sting him.
(Remember he's basically immune). Teal'c defends himself by lashing out at
them, swatting them with his hands and stamping on them. The bees
eventually calm down and fly back to their hives. Teal'c sweeps up the
flattened bees and, yes, you've guessed it, gives them to the lions. As the
lions next on his list he decides they've already had too much to eat.
Teal'c leaves to carry out other duties.
DAY 4
Teal'c turns up the next day at the aviary, and to his horror, there are
more birds lying dead on the ground. Again he sweeps them up and gives them
to the lions. At the monkey-house there are more chimpanzees lying dead and
Teal'c gives them to the lions. When he gets to the bee-house, they swarm
and attack him. Teal'c does his best to defend himself and lashes out at
them. Once they've calmed down. The dead are once again given to the lions.
Again, Teal'c doesn't bother to give the lions their food as he's already
fed them.
DAYS 5, 6 & 7
These exact same events occur over the next two days. He finds more
dead
birds, monkeys and bees. All of which are given to the lions. Teal'c
wonders how he's going to explain this to Head Keeper who is due to return
tomorrow.
DAY 8
Teal'c greets the Head Keeper who asks if he had any problems. Teal'c
genuinely says there were no problems which he couldn't handle.
Teal'c excuses himself and heads to the gate and home.
The Head Keeper starts to do his rounds but goes first to the lions and
asks them, "How did you get on with the new guy ?"
One of the lions replies, "Well, he started off well, and then we didn't
think much of him."
The Keeper asks, surprised, " Oh !, Why's that ?"
The lion replied, "Well all we've had to eat for the last few days
is........
'Finches', 'chimps' and mushy 'bees' !
(I did say it had a British flavour to it !)
AAAAAARRRGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I throw peanuts at him? That's what we do to punsters
in Callahans Bar!
As I'm already paid peanuts, this would constitute a pay rise ! :o)

Excellent.......now if we could get them to take over some lemurs (the ones
with the wide eyes) we could save on local taxes and substitute them for
traffic lights :o)
