See the interesting thing is African megafauna evolved to be able to somewhat counterplay this, that's why they ain't extinct like megafauna everywhere else ended up going.

The horse was indigenous to North America before it was hunted to extinction there, making the age of exploration inadvertently one of the first ever native species repopulation projects.

"Why is the apecuck so wet there's no water here!"

"I don't want to live on the planet anymore" - all the extinct animals killed off by humans.

Been reading the "Deathworlders" novel. Earth is a Level-12 "deathworld". Too impossibly dangerous for sentient life to evolve on a Level-10. Gravity, parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, predators, solar radiation, extreme heat and cold, tectonic activity, tornadoes, hurricanes, all that.

Rest of the galaxy wrote us off as too dangerous to even investigate. And besides, there can't be intelligent life there.

Free book, kinda like a FOSS story, if you will, but not fan fiction either. Getting a little odd several thousand pages in, but I'm hanging in for the last 800 pages (out of 10,000+).

Google "humans fuck yeah" or "HFY" for more fiction along these lines.

Apeman is the It Follows monster of the animal kingdom.

Get good or get domesticated

Bitch please, I get out of breath walking to the fridge.

these boots are made for walking

F tier? Megafauna with the ability to throw pointy sticks very far and without cost to themselves is a pretty big deal!

You believe this shit? It's all just a scam by the big museum of natural history. Wake up sheeple!

hax

This guy definitely watches TierZoo.
