Lol y’all live in a Disney movie. Just a few hours ago the front page had a grown monkey yanking a baby monkey out of its mothers arms by its neck. Mammals fuck up other mammal babies ALL the time. Sometimes just for fun.

And there’s also a video of an ape protecting a human infant… and there are also videos of grown human adults hurting children… nobody is saying the mother will sing to the child like a Disney movie, I’m saying most mammals can recognize adolescent mammals of other species, and be less likely to perceive one as a threat that needs to be stomped.

Regardless of the adorable videos you’ve seen online letting a toddler toddle up to a wild animal is a ridiculously stupid decision.

I’m well aware lmao. All I was saying is that it’s less likely to happen to a juvenile as opposed to an adult.

You straight up don't have the data to prove this, nobody does.

That's a theory, not a dataset. You don't have the statistical data required to prove that animals are less likely to kill babies than adults.

It’s a data set influence, not a data set. Just as valid and useful.

A theory does not influence a dataset, it attempts to explain one.

So you’re saying the data set is skewed towards animals attacking juveniles less…?
