In the wild, evading an attacker is not always about being fast or powerful. At times, it is about being just fast enough to cause a little bit of confusion, and many animals use strategies that cause ...

Hunting is considered critical to human evolution by many researchers who believe that several characteristics that distinguish humans from our closest living relatives, the apes, may have partly ...

I've long been interested in ways in which humans can peacefully coexist with so-called "problem" animals, including predators. In most cases, conservation protocols that call for killing these ...
