Importation of inapt life forms as ecological disaster
#9
Giant herbivores can kill us, too, and they have even more reason to kill us because they recognize us as dangerous predators. So it is with deer, elk, Cape buffalo, zebra, rhinos, hippos, and elephants. A large carnivore has the choice to take the risks of killing us as prey or avoid us altogether.

Elephants may be even more dangerous than the Big Cats. They have us figured out, and it isn't a relationship of trust. Elephants can crush, kick, impale, or throw us.
