Why Don't Predators Often Attack Each Other?
Listen now
Description
Most predators generally avoid attacking each other more frequently because the risks often do not justify the rewards. In the absence of critical resources being at stake, engaging in a fight with another predator presents unnecessary dangers. An injury sustained during such a conflict could result in an inability to hunt effectively, leading to starvation. Additionally, a weakened state makes a predator vulnerable to other predators, who might seize the opportunity to eliminate a weakened competitor. ⚠️ Start Planning Your Trip to Kenya👉: https://www.kenyawildparks.com/contact-us/
