>>89705985I have come face to face at a few feet from multiple black bears and an adolescent catamount at night, the reason some apex predators dont attack humans is not because they dont think we are meat or dont think they could win in a fight it is because they know if they do fight us they wouldn't come out unscathed. They choose to go after easier prey because going after a human is not worth the effort. If these creatures sense that you are afraid of them then the dynamic flips and they believe that because you fear them then you must be food.
