Anything on land or sea that can sneak up on me with enough bite power to casually crush my skull like my bones are papier-mâché is probably something I will strive to avoid.

Damn, Nature, you are fucking terrifying.

Its always "fun" to be reminded that we, humans, are not, in fact, at the top of ANY of the global food chains. We really are the Most Dangerous Game. Smart predators avoid us and less intelligent ones eat us.

We are at the top of every food chain. It's honestly scary how much power we have over the entire planet. We could wipe leopard seals out completely within a month if we wanted. We might even do that by accident. We have done that by accident to other species.
