Meme transcription:

Predators in nature

[Superimposed over an image of a tiger] I stalk my prey for hours before I make a sudden attack

[Superimposed over an image of a camouflaging octopus] I blend in with my surroundings to become invisible for my prey

[Superimposed over an owl in flight] I grow specialized feathers to muffle any sound I make during flight

Predators in movies

[Superimposed over a still from the 1990 movie Jurassic Park showing a screaming Tyrannosaurus Rex] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

    Meanwhile, humans: walking at a faster than average pace at the prey until it can’t run anymore.

      Slow and steady winning the race. I’ve heard that’s why we are fascinated by zombie movies. Like us they use persistence and numbers to attack their prey.

        There’s probably the uncanny valley at play, too. Sure, it looks human, but it most certainly doesn’t behave like one.
