Predators in nature

[Superimposed over an image of a tiger] I stalk my prey for hours before I make a sudden attack

[Superimposed over an image of a camouflaging octopus] I blend in with my surroundings to become invisible for my prey

[Superimposed over an owl in flight] I grow specialized feathers to muffle any sound I make during flight

Predators in movies

[Superimposed over a still from the 1990 movie Jurassic Park showing a screaming Tyrannosaurus Rex] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

    Yes, and all snakes rattle and hiss constantly. No mater the species, they can’t help themselves.

        They are getting quieter though, and there’s concern that they may evolve to lose the rattle entirely, as the loudly rattling ones get sought out and killed off.

          That is concerning. Should just let them be. The rattle is just their proclamation that they are introverts (in relation to other species) and would not like to be interacted with. It’s a really civil way of handling things, especially for a reptile.
