    It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!.. ever… until you are dead!

                Amusingly, I didn’t have to make this. I just googled “cheetah with rifle” and hundreds of images appeared.

            The two ports are for faster shooting and the backwards reciever is for faster bluetooth connections.

              The one where he accidentally attacks the Neutrals by cutting a ribbon wrong and gets court marshaled AKA S02 E02 “Brannigan, Begin Again”

              Edit: Oops, remembered it wrong! It’s S01 E12 “When Aliens Attack”

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting Here is a starting point. :)

      https://www.science.org/content/article/born-run-early-endurance-running--may-have-evolved-help-humans-chase-down-prey

      Note, it’s a theory, so there are some arguments against it. :) Things are rarely black and white.

        Here is an article that shows some contra points to the theorie, in case you want to have a look at that too.

        The evidence for it is rather shallow, realy.

        It’s pretty clear that persistent hunting is one of those myths concocted by someone to justify a world view that humans are “more special” than animals and has no more scientific basis than the “science” coming out of the Disney movies in the 1950s about nature.

      There is a man vs horse marathon since 1980, 35 kms/22 miles on rough terrain. There were 42 races, 4 times a human won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon
