Predators

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.

Predator and Prey

Hawks and Falcons 

Snakes and Lizards

Bears, Coyotes, Wolves, Lions, and the Fox

Comments Please! 

Have you ever seen an eagle soar or heard a coyote cry in the night?

Excellent lens. I love the danger associated with predators. We have very few big one left in England - wolves were all killed many years ago and there is a lot of opposition to their mooted reintroduction in Scotland, although in London we have a lot of foxes. I saw Coyotes in the wild for the first time, last year, in Yellowstone (and a few wolves)

It's easy to forget that birds are predators too!

I rear snakes before, pythons non poisonous, not easy to rear though. Can't imagine rearing of the predators you highlight in your lens esp that rattle snake :)
