Apex predators must be so confused by humans. Here's these gangly looking creatures that looks like prey, no claws, no fangs, only forward facing eyes hint at anything different. They act like prey, except when they absolutely don't, and they become the apex predator. And they keep giving out food and trying to get you to stay in their camps.

this is a great concept for a scifi story: humanity is "the ancients" but all the aliens see of us is when we're effectively going on nature hikes.

An alien empire captures a lone human vessel and is about to start doing horrible shit, when suddenly a fucking planet emerges from hyperspace and next thing they know their entire species has been relocated and they're surrounded by a force field.

If you enjoy this sort of story, can I suggest the "Humanity, Fuck Yeah" (HFY) genre? I can definitely recommend The Deathworlders.
