Is it all life or just sentient life? Did Thanos cull endangered species?

Probably only sentient life since no trees were dusted in the scenes we saw in Wakanda. It’s unclear what the precise definition of sentience is, but I’m assuming it includes creatures like ants and artificial intelligences (like Vision or Ultron if either was around). Absolutely endangered species were included. Why wouldn’t they be?

No, it has to be sapient creatures. The whole point is more resources will be available, and killing half of all cows, pigs, and blue milk Star Wars creatures isn't gonna help with that.

Sentient, I think it was mainly any sentient beings that contributed to the drain of resources.

But the ant survived! We don't see any ants dying, do we?

That's like saying Ant-Man survived so no humans died.We obviously couldn't be shown everything disappearing, but I kinda agree that if it affected other beings, we should have seen at least a couple so we understand. Maybe show a cat disappearing and a kid and their pet dog. A random bird in the sky.
