A recently published study has concluded that humans act as “super-predators,” killing adult prey at much higher levels than other predatory animals in nature do, both on land and in the water.
When you think of the world’s most dominant predators, sharks, tigers, and bears may come to mind, but a recently published study has singled out one animal above all--humans.
A 'super-predator' is how the team has labeled humans based on a broad survey of practices among animals.
They found that people kill large, land-based carnivores like bears and lions at a rate nine times greater than the deaths the wild creatures cause amongst themselves.
