When You have one of these creatures vocalize at You, before throwing a rock weighing more than Yourself (I weigh in at 235lbs for the record) 20+ feet in Your general direction, THEN try persuading me into believing these creatures are "gentle forest brothers" and "protectors of the forest"...
Simply put, their an animal...A large animal we barely know the basics of behavior about...And like any large animal in nature, they CAN be dangerous to Man if the situation dictates their needing to be...This is true for any animal in nature, be it the largest predator to the smaller prey...To believe anything otherwise would be to place these creatures in the realm of mysticism, and I personally believe their too firmly lodged in reality for that to be a possibility...
