| In the world of predators animals suffer a lot with them. In fact, in the story of the animal kingdomis full of predators trying to catch prey, and the prey trying to catch prey and the prey trying to outwit predators. In the long-played out drama of evolution, when a predator gains the advantage, the prey develops skill to counter it. The hunters keep populations healthy by weeding out the old and the sick. Of course, there are also creatures that steal the prey caught by others, like hyenas. This issue of Tell Me Why takes you to the fearsome worlds of predators in their magnificent variety. |
