The caracal may survive without drinking for a long period — the water demand is satisfied with the body fluids of its prey.

During the breeding season, adults scale back on carrion and take mostly small, live prey since nestlings need this kind of food to survive.

His moral vision is a harsh one: the world is made up of predators and prey, and only the strong survive.

He demonstrated experimentally the efficiency of natural selection as an evolutionary force: light-coloured moths are more conspicuous than dark-coloured ones in industrial areas, where the vegetation is darkened by pollution, and are therefore easier prey for birds, but are less conspicuous in unpolluted rural areas, where the vegetation is lighter in colour, and therefore survive predation better.

Like most crocodilians, they are unpicky eaters who readily vary their prey selection based on availability but are not voracious eaters, as they are able to survive on relatively little food for a prolonged period.

For example, some animals species, who feign death to survive ( like possums ), in this state produce a strong body odor to deceive a predator that the prey animal has been dead for a long time and is already in the advanced stage of decomposing.

For example, larger organisms find it easier to avoid or fight off predators and capture prey, to reproduce, to kill competitors, to survive temporary lean times, and to resist rapid climatic changes.

They survive on smaller prey such as insects and mice.

As these creatures have no true life of their own, they prey on humans to survive on their lifeforce.

The second hypothesis, predator attraction, suggests that the release of schreckstoff may attract additional predators which will interfere with the predation event, increasing the likelihood that the prey will escape and survive the attack.

This is most likely determined by ecological conditions, evolutionary factors, and the availability of food ; a small population of large predators depend on a much greater population of small prey to survive.

Both nymphs and adults are predatory, but can survive on nectar and honeydew when prey are scarce.

Tracking has always been an essential skill for dogs to survive in the wild, through hunting and tracking down potential prey.

Though the coyote is the basis for the character of Wile E. Coyote in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated cartoons, especially about the Road Runner, coyotes have not been known as yet to attack greater roadrunners for prey.

Timothy C. Tricas, an author and teacher at the University of Hawaii, and McCosker suggest that a standard pattern for great whites is to make an initial devastating attack, and then wait for the prey to weaken before consuming the wounded animal.

Humans ' ability to move out of reach with the help of others, thus foiling the attack, is unusual for a great white's prey.

A bird, once it has detected a bird of prey, calls to signal to the bird of prey that it was detected, and that there is no use trying to attack the calling bird.

Recent evidence has shown that cheetahs will not attack and eat livestock if they can avoid doing so, as they prefer their wild prey.

* 110km / h Cheetah attack gazelle Video showing cheetah's speed, running mechanics, and hyenas stealing a cheetah's prey.

The act of predation can be broken down into a maximum of four stages: Detection of prey, attack, capture and finally consumption.

When hunger is not an issue, most predators will generally not seek to attack prey since the costs outweigh the benefits.

Recent cases in which Golden Eagle were caught on film attacking unusual, large prey have included an unsuccessful attack on a large adult White-tailed Deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) and a successful attack on an adult male Coyote ( Canis latrans ).

Brown bears and polar bears prey on reindeer of all ages, but like the wolverines they are most likely to attack weaker animals, such as calves and sick deer, since healthy adult reindeer can usually outpace a bear.

In some species, release occurs when a fish attempts to attack the mussel's minnow or other mantle flaps shaped like prey ; an example of aggressive mimicry.

In biology, a colony refers to individual organisms of the same species living closely together, usually for mutual benefit, such as stronger defense or the ability to attack bigger prey.

Although the Griffon Vulture does not normally attack larger living prey, there are reports of Spanish Griffon Vultures killing weak, young or unhealthy living animals as they do not find enough carrion to eat.
