Survival.

See....that's the funny thing. The reason we're the dominant species now is because we're smarter than the fittest beasties that used to exist on people steaks.
It's a combination of smarts, strength, and endurance that allows a human to escape the dinnertime plans of gorillas, bears, lions, tigers, whatever.....
Trouble is, we've gone soft. I'd bet the percentage of people who could actually fend for themselves these days in an actual situation where they had to depend on their abilities in the wild is pretty small.

| I think we need to add warning tags to all new cameras "Do Not Cross Roadways While Looking Through View Finder", if we did that this sort of thing would never happen again! |

Oh....okay.
So they won't kill you if they think you're invading their territory or threatening their offspring just because you stumbled into their home turf, right?.....8~)
ETA: While they're having a salad....8~)
