Humans are apex predators no need to keep an eye out. no no we are decidedly not literally so many things can kill us that we aren't even able to be aware of take a bear, for instance. their only predator is us us, our predators are ourselves, insects, bears, tigers, any apex predator really, rodents, ect. you know what happens if a python bites a honey badger? it sleeps. if a python bites us, we're fucking dead you know what happens if we get shot? we bleed out. you know what happens if a bear gets shot? it still mauls us to death because it's a bear we can't even fight a gorilla, out ancestors. our only weapon of use is a gun, which unless you critically wound one of these animals, they're still going to destroy you easily --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead <cite>helIy posted [p:893139042] in why don't ...

MannerSaurus 12/30/17 6:15:09 PM #10:	I mean... I've seen a video where a lion took like 6 blasts from 6 different shotguns/rifles and still managed to tackle a guy before wandering off and slowly dying. Obviously if you had a .50BMG minigun you would be OK, but it was pretty terrifying seeing it take all 6 rounds and still almost kill that guy with full ferocity. --- Ever since the day you left, my fate's been set unknown...

green dragon 12/30/17 6:18:53 PM #12:	Mosquitos are vector organisms. They can transmit diseases to you, but they themselves don't actually kill you. Ticks are parasites. They don't kill you eother, but can transmit diseases to you. In fact, it is in a tick's best interest to keep you alive so that it can keep feeding off of you. Fly?
