It&#x27;s not necessarily tasty, but it isn&#x27;t super fast, we&#x27;re not venomous, poisonous, spiky, or armored, we can&#x27;t smell very well, our claws and teeth are relatively ineffective, our young are pretty defenseless for several years and we only have a few of them...we need all the inventiveness and precautions we can come up with to not be the easiest meal in the forest.  Predators don&#x27;t really care about tastiness, they just need to feed.
