Lions have long been perceived as Africa’s, if not the world’s, most fearsome terrestrial predator,the “king of beasts”. Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing, as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators, due partly to technologies such as hunting with dogs or guns.

It was just a recording of a human voice! It would be interesting to test this on other continents with large predators and prey.
