Yeah.

He's like, I've heard this conversation before.

I'm going to go somewhere else.

Yeah.

So big cats are the same way.

Lions sleep 18 or 20 hours a day.

And so, again, when the zebra notices the lion does not look hungry or does not look like it's motivated to hunt and it's in a safe position to observe it, it'll do that because gathering information about it is a good thing.

It can recognize how many lions are out there.

Does it look like he's actually hungry?

Is he actually hunting?

Is he really just laying around?

So they're assessing their landscape of danger, the landscape of threat.

And zebras are not alone here.

Gazelles do this with cheetahs.

Minnows do this with pikes and water, bodies of water.

It's a pretty common instinct for prey animals to, under certain conditions, inspect predators.

Now, humans are really unique because the rest of the animal kingdom, the only way to learn about your predator is to stop and look at it.

Can't learn about it from your peers because they can't really speak to you in the same kind of way.

You don't have books or transmissible culture in any kind of way.

You can't learn about it like that.
