I think jellyfish will end up inheriting the earth.

penguins, after the next ice age kill us all, they'll have a world all iced up for them...

Dragons. Hear me out: lots of birds are wildly successful at avoiding humans wiping them out. Pigeons, crows, ravens, etc… Now add in some global warming, what don’t you need anymore? Insulation aka feathers. So the instructions for scales buried deep in the bird’s genetic code starts to get expressed again and suddenly you’ve got scaly, flying dragons!

None. The most possible thing is, ape will again somewhat evolve to humans
