Predators in the Wild

When we think of predators, frightening images come to mind. Our heart rate jumps and we glance around warily. In society predators have thrown off the balance of life and need to be stopped. It's another story in the wild. There is a check and balance between predator and prey. One cannot exist without the other.

A true predator is one which kills and eats another organism. They may hunt actively for prey, or sit and wait for prey to approach within striking distance. They may eat their prey whole or tear it into shreds. They are the carnivores of the world.

There are many Predators featured on Squidoo. This lens features a collection of some of my favorites.
