And THEN add to that that once you got hit with the spear and are running slower, a wolf just appears and starts hunting you too.

Imagine being hunted by 2 different apex predators working together

Then later in history....

An hawk flies down and attacks you, joining the wolves and the humans. They've got the fucks birds in on it now! God is dead.

I went on a hike and a coyote started hunting me on the last mile back to the car. I carry at least a large stick when I hike now.

Shit that’s scary. I’m glad to be living in Central Europe. Scariest thing here is the Rabbit of Caerbannog (a.k.a. the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh)

I live where we have plenty of wolves and black bears around. Even a cougar or two now. Ain't a one of them that like being around a human. Much like crocodiles and hippos, the crocs understand that if you mess with a baby hippo, a much large hippo WILL turn you into a nice pair of shoes, a purse, and a brief case in a heartbeat.

Though to be honest, there are a couple of places I've bumped a cougar and seen tracks that when I go there alone, I do carry a pistol for self defense. Cats ain't smart and it's always better to have a means to be safe than sorry.

Coyotes don't hunt humans, though it may have been receiving food from other hikers which could cause that behavior.

'Yotes ain't so proud as to not scavenge a human encampment when no one was looking........
