Predatory feast.

[Lionel Mandrake]

Here are twelve videos of animals hunting and killing other animals.

Be warned: sometimes animals are eaten alive. You might not want to watch that.

1. Three cheetahs bringing down an ostrich.

And that's just the beginning. There are other unusual combinations of predator and prey in these videos.

6. Those cheetahs look like they've done that before (although the one that got

kicked in the face won't forget it in a hurry).

My kitties give that video :thumbsup::thumbsup:...

8. Judging from the narration,

there's a back story we missed. They apparently chased ostriches at least once before. And they cooperate so well that they must have had a lot of practice hunting together.

2. No, will nor click on that link, but it is the law of the wild.

Animals kill other animals for food, not like hunters kill animals for the thrill of the hunt.

3. Ahh yes, nothing like a huge slice of thrill

to keep your hunger in check.

4. Are you sure of that?

I've seen cats playing with their prey. The cats seem to be having fun.

I've seen videos of bears killing many more salmon than they can eat. The bears, likewise, seem to be having fun.

I don't think we humans are uniquely depraved in this regard.

5. was the cheetah purring while killing the ostrich?

or did i imagine that

[Lionel Mandrake]

7. Could be.

The cheetah in the close-up had just received a couple of hard kicks to the head. Maybe he enjoyed that.
