Of course, the problem with being able to run your prey to death is spotting the particular prey, rather than chasing sixteen of them in endless order b/c you can’t pick one specific animal.
But if you have binocular vision and a heavy stick, and can get close enough to make a throw, then picking out Mister Gimpy as he tries to get away in a savanna or mixed-terrain environment (a “rabbit stick” is an almost perfect tool for “legging” quadrupeds), makes an awful lot of sense.
Combine that with our ability to hyper-communicate using nothing but our eyes (the “whites” of our eyes are an incredible commo advantage), and we turn out to be niche, but potentially very, very effective predators.
