[After the group narrowly survive an attack from the future predator]
It was one step ahead of us all the time. It knew what we were going to do before we did it!
I warned you it was smart!
It would be more useful if you could tell us how to catch this thing.
What we need is some kind of edge, a weakness in its defences that gives us an advantage, otherwise it's just gonna pick us off one-by-one!
Dogs. The dogs went crazy before it attacked. What would make them go off like that?
Can't be smell. If there was a scent trail, they would have followed it.
Hearing. They heard something.
Sound. It's using sound.
That's why it was able to remain one step ahead of us! It can detect physical movement before it's within visual range!
And the dogs, they detect a higher frequency, therefore they know when it's nearby!
Like echolocation?
High frequency sound waves, it's like a sonar system. Some animals use it to detect prey.
Like a bat. Well, you said there was bat blood in the lion enclosure.
That's it. This thing must be some kind of...I dunno, super-bat.
He's right. Three quarters of all mammal species are bats or rats; maybe the future belongs to them.
