Predators of Our Ancestors

Show tall grasses, silent forests, glowing eyes in shadows. Before humans became

predators, they were prey. Some of the most dangerous predators of all time targeted

our ancestors: Saber-toothed tigers waiting in ambush Dire wolves hunting in lethal packs

Short-faced bears running at incredible speeds Giant hyenas stalking camps at night

Eagle raptors capable of snatching small children NARRATOR: One mistake… one

wrong step… could end a life instantly. Early humans learned to listen—to the wind,

to the movement of grass, to the distant growl that meant something massive was nearby.
