Ithink the term "apex predator" is an intimidating one, but it really shouldn't be, necessarily. There are apex predators we humans shouldn't even worry about. Of course, the other side of that coin is the reality that there ARE apex predators we want no part of. Before we go any further, and apex predator, says Britannica , is a "flesh-eating animal with no natural predators or enemies."
Hmm, the definition is somewhat intimidating, too, isn't it? It's all still good. Hey, you and I are both apex predators, and we're pretty cool people.
River Monsters
It's funny...I recently watched a YouTube video clip from the old Animal Planet series River Monsters in which host Jeremy Wad e was feverishly searching for a gigantic Tapah catfish. They don't make 'em this big in Kentucky...
