How does it feel to fight off a predator in the wild? And what effect does it have on your life? Five people who lived to tell the tale explain

So would you say animal behaviour is indeed changing lately?

I personally had a weird experience when a small school of really small fishes started biting us and pierced the skin in the Mediterranean.

No, Factorio is not based on real events.

Large animals generally haven’t recognized humans as natural predators, prey or competition. As environmental pressures on habitats grow as habitats undergo variously anthropocentric destruction and reduction, competition will become more fierce to the extent that humans may now be recognized as predators (fight or flight), prey (viable source of food) or competition (territorial disputes).

It’s a circle of life kind of thing.

On the whole, as we continue to deplete and destroy their natural environments, we will have more run-ins with animals that DGAF about humanity when they’re desperately trying to just survive. Whether that accounts for your personal experience is hard to say, and this isn’t necessarily just due to climate change, but other factors as well, like deforestation and urban sprawl, will lead to these potentially hostile encounters.

You try spending the first half of 2023 without air conditioning and then try not to be pissed off at everything.

I can’t imagine a world where the Honey-Badger is even more angry.

I also have a lower threshold for humanity’s bullshit when i’m feeling warm, so i get it.

Are we including the coordinated orca yacht attacks in with this? I want to see where all that yacht hate is coming from.

My dad has reported being attacked by a crow at our condo in Seattle

I live in Vancouver, when it’s crow nesting season you have to watch out, they will dive bomb you just for walking down the same street as them.

Humans are fucking over every aspect of animal habitat. Of course they’re gonna go after the motherfuckers responsible.
