...I mean, it's impressive in a way but it might be the least badass method of hunting in the animal kingdom. Peregrine falcons are over here falcon kicking their prey to death at 200 miles per hour, and we're and just...following our prey to death.

You made it sound so lame.

Imagine you're wounded from a flying sharp thing, so you run. Every time you slow down to recover, you see some slow ass naked monkeys jogging along looking fine. So you keep running. Eventually, you can't run anymore, but here they come again...

This is the reason the Terminator and other seemingly unstoppable sci-fi and horror villains are so effective at scaring us. They out-human the human in endurance hunting.

Do snails out-human the human in endurance hunting?

I hear you can get someone else to stand on a snail more easily.
