I know this one is as old as broadband internet, but it will never stop making me laugh. So just sharing again.

    You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they’re 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.

    People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.

      Just a rock or a knife, if you wear the animal down enough. You’re probably not biting through the hide though.

      Just goes to show what an amazing evolutionary advantage we get from the combo of intelligence and dexterity. The ability to make and use tools to fit any situation makes us capable of anything other animals can do and more.
