tdvance is assuming the Alien is a naturally evolved organism. It may be, but it's not made clear one way or the other in the movies.

If it's not natural in origin, engineering, of a rather perverse kind (or perhaps not--who knows the mind of an alien engineer?), could account for how it can use any living species as a host. That's just my rationalization though, your mileage may vary.
