With hunting being so dangerous, how do predetor animals survive? I’ve seen many videos/photos of for example lions being killed or atleast hurt while hunting… How can they survive when they have to take such a risk so often just to eat?
In: Biology
They not only survive, they thrive. At least the ones who’s ecosystems are unsullied enough to provide adequate prey. Sure, weaker hunters die off because they either get injured during the hunt or otherwise fail to catch their prey, but strong hunters survive and pass on the genes that enable them to become strong hunters. This is the essence of survival of the fittest. The fittest take calculated risks constantly, and far more often than not come out on top.
