Apex Predators

A report of new research at ScienceAlert, comparing the sound of lions and the sound of humans to see which inspires more fear among the creatures gathered to drink at African waterholes. Regular readers will know I was not surprised to find humans are more feared than lions which are well-armed, eat only meat, and hunt in packs.

We, dear reader, are the apex predators on this planet, more feared than any other species, and with good reason. Even stone-age tribes utilize primitive weapons to make the killer ape (us) more fearsome. And most of us are light years beyond Stone Age. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
