About this ebook
Explore the uneasy relationship between humans and the natural world in this gripping collection of real-life animal encounters.
Since we humans have evolved into the dominant species on this planet, we sometimes fail to recognize—and respect—the ever-present threat posed by the animals we love or fear, hunt or fight to protect. Many of nature's most lethal residents have combative skills that have been honed by millions of years of adaptive survival, and it takes only a second for an otherwise evolved individual to become a helpless victim.
When Man is the Prey is a one-of-a-kind collection of real-life encounters between man and beast. From bears, boars, and black dogs to swimming with sharks and dancing with wolves, these stories offer a fascinating, frightening, and enlightening look at the natural world and its many creatures. Delve into the realms of animal behavior, evolution, predator-prey dynamics, and the delicate balance of ecosystems.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an animal lover, or simply curious about the untamed wilderness, this book will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the power and complexity of the animal kingdom. Prepare to be captivated by these thrilling tales of survival and the primal instincts that drive both man and beast.
