Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I've actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.

Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

You know the reason why most of the recent megafauna went extinct? (Mammoths, big birds, giant sloth, saber toothed cat, ...)

Their feet got too big for their boots?
