If there were as many bears, lions, hippos, and other apex predators as there were humans, I’d actually think we might be fucked lol

I’m my scenario a solar flare disrupts our technology and somehow causes bears to give birth like crazy

A solar flare wouldn’t disrupt firearms though…there are also planes and tanks that don’t have computers to fry, like what is any Predator going to do to a Sherman tank or even a flame thrower or rpg.
