Re: predator



After watching Blue Planet bo0th monday and last night I think that this fine series really pointed out the need to deifne various levels of preditation. In the segments of both sardines and herrings there were the primary preds that scoped out the prey, porpoise, followed by preds that weren't that smart, with birdes waiting around because they couldn't get to the prey followed by sharks who came by the see what all the ruckes is about and finally a baleen whale droped in for a bite.there may be more but Ican't remember.None of these animals would be classed as anything but a pred but it seems to me that there are several types of preditation to be considered.

Gee, I thought predation was just killing your own food...who cares how you did it? For "types of predation" try calling it "hunting methods" instead. :)
