What creature do you think has best chances of surviving a global disaster ( like the one the dinosaurs)?

I would imagine it could be some deep sea creature, or maybe a creature that can dig fast for its safety, or maybe humans. What do you think?

    Bacteria will probably survive any global disaster. Otherwise, it depends on the event. If oxygen gets consumed, the animals die. If sunlight is blocked, plants will die. Land plants have an advantage because they have seeds that can sprout later. Of the animals, I would suspect some deep cave-dwelling animal would be least affected.
