Amen, brother, amen! Not even a chimpanzee would be able to think up
something like that. Brains always triumphs over brawn. There are
animals that are perfectly capable of ripping humans apart, but . . .
it rarely happens. Very few animals would make a meal of a human as
readily as they would of any other animal species. These are all
reptilian by the way, most notably the Saltwater Crocodile of
Australia. But when was the last time they all rose up en mass and
launched an assault upon Australians?
As for other species of animals, they fear us! They know what we are
capable of and rarely attack us! We are apex predators. Even wolves
fear us. As disturbing as the odd animal attack is upon humans, any
such animal has forfeited their very life. And all of their strength
and natural cunning is not going to save them in the end. They may run
on a long time, but we will hunt them down.
In short, no other species upon this planet is remotely capable of
throwing down the entire human race, or that would have happened ever
before we could figure out farming.
