involved just wounding an animal

not even wounding. Just persistent tracking and following. Most prey animals can run away quickly, but need lots of rest.

Humans can just keep going. And going. And going. Until the prey just is too exhausted to run.

It's why the trope of an enemy that never stops/is endless is so terrifying, and thus common in media.

That's why you can't take your eyes off the snail!

Pay some college students to cast the snail in epoxy.

Yes, very true! I almost added that when writing my comment, but didn't want to blather on too long in a comment about a meme haha

I guess the Energizer Bunny was an evolution that came about, due to humanity's hunting style...
