Another reference, this time in 3D:
Me, 6'4" 235lb, that's a full grown and a cub 1:1 statue
And there was a time that humans with stone tools were like yep I can kill that
Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".
I mean we basically successfully hunted every animal on the planet. Wouldn't say it's fair to call them morons
Ahead of their time.
Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.
Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I'm very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.
Look up cave bears for a treat.
That picture is not in 3D. Not at all.
You have to use your 3D monocle for this one
That cub will fuck me up
It would.
Off on a tangent, but relevant, I recently watched a video from a big cat trainer, and he stated that lion and tiger cubs are absolutely lethal at the age of 6 months. They can literally play with you to death.
They mentioned that in Tiger King and I just chuckled thinking that was the source of your reference.
That may be where I heard it. My memory's not as good as it used to be.
Whatever that little thing laying on the rock would fuck me up.
Is that polar bear turd?
I could take the one on the fake boulder
Id say you could even make it 5 feet with the thing before momma caught up and turned you into a fine red mist
I need a gummy bear for scale.
Zoom in on my shirt, the ring around my neck is about the height and width of a gummy bear, or at least close enough to work as an average
