There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I recently read that article and I think that there is obviously a prey preference for big cats but they still need diversity and I don't think any animal targets one species only. Obviously we would be easy prey so until we were able to stand up to them, they would take advantage of us. But obviously human beings were not easy prey once we developed fire and tools and we are quite dangerous when angered, so I think its probably in most predators interest to not test their luck with human beings that often.
