Are humans really the ultimate super-predator?

Recent research reveals a nuanced perspective on humans' role as predators. Contrary to the notion of humans being the ultimate super-predator, wild animals respond more fearfully to hunters and fishers than to tourists or researchers. This indicates that animals' behavior changes based on perceived threats, highlighting how humans' impact on wildlife depends on our actions. This finding matters for conservation strategies, suggesting that managing human activities like hunting could have a more significant effect on animal behavior than leisure activities.
