    involved just wounding an animal

    not even wounding. Just persistent tracking and following. Most prey animals can run away quickly, but need lots of rest.

    Humans can just keep going. And going. And going. Until the prey just is too exhausted to run.

      It’s why the trope of an enemy that never stops/is endless is so terrifying, and thus common in media.
