      It's also vision. We rely on our sight every day and can see things that are really far away, not in detail but we can see them moving around. In the ocean that shit doesn't work and something that's merely 50 feet away is basically invisible to us unless the water is like crystal clear, which the ocean isn't.

      The Apalachian trail is infamous for people disappearing in very unusual ways and are never heard from again. Look up "Missing 411 - David Paulides". He wrote a book on the strange disappearances of many people and how unnerving the circumstances are. Just vanishing without a trace, then some being found in the same spot that the search and rescue moved through multiple times.

Sperm whales are also insanely adapted predators. Massive, intelligent, can kill you without even touching you (they can use sound pressure waves as a weapon), but also dont hunt us at all

      Appalachia is a mountain range that spans from New York to Alabama/Georgia/Mississippi. There are many towns and cities in Appalachia.
      Most of WV is in Appalachia, and it has a population of 1.7 million.
      Horror movies are not always reality, it's not some desolated woodland where you'll get lost and never return. There's not cannibalistic hillbillies waiting in the woods to drag you off, or some uncharted settlement of psychopathic murderers.
      Please come to reality for 2 seconds before typing. It's also clear that you don't really know what you're talking about because the only continent ever named Appalachia was the one that existed literally hundreds of millions of years ago, before humans were even on the planet.

      To be exact, there are no humans. It'd be like calling a human who lived at some point, its parents, not humans, then it suddenly a human, for some ancestor. Imagine doing that to you, lol! Human is merely artificial classification, boundary drawn. It doesn't really exist outside of our imagination.

The only comfort is knowing the sheer size of these mouths and teeth increased the chances of instant death for hominids 5 feet and shorter. I'd rather be eaten by any of these prehistoric creatures than a modern day lion, tiger or bear. There's always the chance of instant death, but it seems bleeding out while having your flesh ripped off your body seems more likely.
