predator & prey

God made the earth suppling it with all creatures Great and Small. Each had its strengths to become a Predator and each their Achilles’ heel to fall Prey. At one time the smaller but stronger, more voracious, carnivorous, Raptors, preyed on the larger, slower moving plant eating Herbivores. As a tasty snack, the Raptors could snack on the numerous, smaller apes and predecessors of Homus Erectus. When the 12-mile diameter asteroid hit the earth million years ago, the resultant firestorm and clouds blanketed the world. Sunlight failed to reach the earth. Plant growth failed. Herbivores passed into extinction. Raptor predators faced extinction as their food source dried up. When Homo Erectus emerged from the morass, he became Prey to faster packs of lions, wild dogs, hyenas and tigers. Seeking fresh water, he ventured to the water’s edge, becoming Prey to crocodiles and alligators. Six million years ago, the brain of Homo Erectus began to grow larger. He developed techniques, instruments, and weapons for protection against his Predators. Today, he no longer fears the Predator of yesteryear. With his ability at concealing his strengths and cunning, he became the Predator of the Predators, as well as his more devious, human Prey. But the human Prey also has a brain, enabling him to bite back.
