Most people would think apex predators like lions or tigers would be the most successful killers. What about an alligator or crocodile? They’re millions of years of evolution and that has to have given them an upper hand right? Or what about sharks? Fierce, fast, and top of the food chain It seems like their sole purpose is just to swim the waters alone and hunt.

Big cats hunt twice a day and some even hunt in groups. Those hunts take up a ton of energy and they always have to share their meals. Another thing to consider is a lot of these bigger animals are taking down larger prey. So it makes sense as to why their kill rates are much lower.

And as amazing as all these creatures are, surprisingly there’s one creature much more successful and even much smaller. Don’t get me wrong these animals are successful hunters and their kill rates are still impressive which ranges from 15%-50%. But the one with a 95% kill rate is extremely impressive and with an insane appetite this creature is a far superior hunter.

Question: Do we really only use 10% of our brain?

Welcome to the human brain. Weighing in at around 3 lbs, it’s powerful, big, and can solve some of the most complex problems. The brain controls everything. It is the command center for our nervous system. It receives signals throughout the body's organs. It re-distributes information to our muscles. It’s the director of our body's internal functions, integrating sensory impulses and information to form perceptions, thoughts, and memories. Your brain has the ability to think, learn, create and feel emotions. It controls every blink, breath, movement, and heartbeat. Scientist James D. Watson once called the brain “the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.” The brain is a powerful tool, but do we really only use 10% of it?
