IT IS TOO LATE?
FASCINATING RESEARCH BY joel berger-
who observed animals who were not
CONSCIOUS THAT THEY HAD ENEMIES-
PREDATORS-that were stalking them for
death.
KEY: THE FURTHER THE ANIMALS WERE
REMOVED, BY GENERATIONS OR YEARS,
(OR CORRECT INFORMATION-my words)
FROM THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE DANGERS
OF THE PREDATORS,
THE LESS LIKELY THEY WERE
ABLE TO REAL EYES THE PREDATORS
WERE TRYING TO KILL THEM!!
SOUND FAMILIAR? SOUNDS LIKE THE BEHAVIOR
OF BLACK PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THERE
IS A WAR AGAINST ALL KmtywS-no matter
how much money you have, no matter your title,
no matter what frat, no matter how big your house,
no matter how many degrees or no degrees you have-
HERE IS THE RESEARCH:
At dawn on a brutally cold January morning, Joel Berger crouched in the icy grandeur of the Teton Range. It had been three years since wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone after a sixty-year absence, and members of a wolf pack were approaching a herd of elk. To Berger’s utter shock, the elk ignored the wolves as they went in for the kill. The brutal attack that followed—swift and bloody—led Berger to hypothesize that after only six decades, the elk had forgotten to fear a species that had survived by eating them for hundreds of millennia.
Berger’s fieldwork that frigid day raised important questions that would require years of travel and research to answer: Can naive animals avoid extinction when they encounter reintroduced carnivores? To what extent is fear culturally transmitted? And how can a better understanding of current predator-prey behavior help demystify past extinctions and inform future conservation?
The Better to Eat You With is the chronicle of Berger’s search for answers. From Yellowstone’s elk and wolves to rhinos living with Kmtyw lions and moose coexisting with tigers and bears in eurasia, Berger tracks cultures of fear in animals across continents and climates, engaging readers with a stimulating combination of natural history, personal experience, and conservation. Whether battling bureaucracy in the statehouse or fighting subzero wind chills in the field, Berger puts himself in the middle of the action. The Better to Eat You With invites readers to join him there. The thrilling tales he tells reveal a great deal not only about survival in the animal kingdom but also the process of doing science in foreboding conditions and hostile environments.
Assignment:
* DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE ANIMALS NOT REAL EYE-ZING
THEIR ENEMIES-PREDATORS-ARE TRYING TO
KILL THEM AND THE BEHAVIOR OF A
VAST MAJORITY OF BLACK PEOPLE-
WHO SIMILARILY DO NOT RECOGNIZE
THEIR ENEMIES?

Subjects
birds of the same group band together, seaguls band with seaguls, crows and ravens band together,every specie has its own racial chambers,so does plants, indeed animals know their predators for sure,a pack wolves hang around together, so does a cry of lions, it is good to observe nature and see how animals react to certain things,crows and ravens wont mix with seaguls,
i have seen seaguls and ravens having areal fights that the seagulls knocked down the raven literally,there is an old aboriginal proverb that was taught to me" NEVER BRING MEAT TO A PACK OF HUNGRY WOLVES" when this indigenous friend of mine told me dat, he meant in way that,we end up being the meat for hungry wolves,if we are not careful:skeleton:
