Study Confirms Humans as Earth's Most Feared Predator

Australian research shows marsupials react more fearfully to human voices than to any other predator sounds.

Kangaroos and wallabies are 2.4 times more likely to flee from human voices than from dogs or Tasmanian devils.
The study used hidden automated camera-speaker systems to capture animal reactions in Tasmania's eucalypt forests.
Findings align with global research showing wildlife universally fears humans more than traditional predators.
Fear of humans can lead to dramatic ecological consequences, including reduced wildlife numbers and cascading impacts.
Researchers emphasize humanity's unique lethality and the profound fear it instills in wildlife worldwide.
