I feel like humans are basically terminators for a lot of animals, it just never stops, chasing you at a modest pace, long past the point you're tired.
Nah, hunting methods for wolves and prehistoric humans are very different. Wolves sprint for a quick takedown. Humans would chase animals for hours and days before the prey can no longer resist.
It's actually interesting, the evolutionary trait that gave us the edge is actually sweating. Only humans, primates, horses and hippos really have the ability to sweat sufficiently to cool themselves. Canines and felines can only sweat through their paws, not enough to cool themselves. They can pant, but not enough for duration running. Primitive humans literally ran down their prey until the prey would overheat.

I chase down my prey at the grocery store where it doesn't try to run away.
You're a dog though.
Ah so that's why nobody cares when I just walk out without paying.

Don't wolves do some of the same kind of hunting though?

I'll be damned. I had seen old documentaries that showed wolves being persistence hunters with large game. Learn new stuff every day :)

So we're basically Jason for other animals
I heard they like flanking others before they attack. Maybe he's doing that? Wait a minute, do you think he might be doing that to us right now?
It's more of a predator - death.
