SCAVENGER VULTURE

The bearded vulture, which lives in the high mountains of Southern Europe, Africa and Asia, is a persistent hunter. Every day it circles tirelessly above the peaks for hours, keeping a sharp eye on the landscape. It searches for dead animals, whose bones provide the vulture with a royal feast. The bird obtains the marrow from the bones using various methods. It swallows small bones whole, while it carries larger ones into the air, 50 to 150 metres above a rocky surface, and then releases them from its beak so they break on hitting the hard rock below. The same method is used to kill live prey such as tortoises and hyraxes, which make up only a small part of the vulture’s diet.

THE BEARDED VULTURE GLIDES THROUGH THE AIR EXPLOITING RISING COLUMNS OF AIR CALLED THERMAL UPDRAFTS.

THE SHOEBILL, WHICH LIVES IN THE SWAMPS OF CENTRAL AFRICA, IS PATIENCE ITSELF. THE STORK-LIKE BIRD WITH LONG LEGS TYPICAL OF WADING BIRDS STANDS MOTIONLESS AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER WAITING FOR ITS DINNER TO COME WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF ITS BILL. THEN IT OPENS ITS WINGS AND LEANS FORWARD SUDDENLY. THE BIRD GRABS ITS SLIPPERY PREY SECURELY WITH ITS HOOKED BROAD BILL, LIFTS IT OUT OF THE WATER AND TIPS ITS HEAD BACK TO EAT IT. THE SHOEBILL MAINLY FEEDS ON FISH BUT IS NOT AVERSE TO FROGS, TURTLES AND SNAKES EITHER.

MORE HASTE LESS SPEED – THIS IS OFTEN THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN HUNTING. IF THE DESIRED PREY IS HARD TO STALK OR THE SOURCE OF FOOD IS SCARCE, PERSISTENCE IS USUALLY REWARDED. THE ANIMAL KINGDOM’S VIGILANT SPIES SCOUR THE TERRAIN WITH ENDLESS PATIENCE OR LIE IN AMBUSH MOTIONLESS, WAITING FOR PREY WHILE USING THEIR SOPHISTICATED SENSORY ORGANS AND ABILITY TO HIDE TO GOOD EFFECT.

The quest

The African jacana inhabits lakes and marshland with floating vegetation such as water lilies. When looking for food, this bird struts across the carpet of leaves on the surface of the water. It does not worry about sinking as the bone structure of its feet spreads its weight. It turns the leaves of the aquatic plants over and fills its belly with the snails, crustaceans and worms hiding there. The jacana is also adept at snatching flies and dragonflies taking off from the water.

RING-TAILED LEMURS SPEND MUCH OF THEIR TIME ON THE GROUND BUT CLIMB WITH EASE TO REACH LEAVES AND FRUIT, CARRYING THEIR YOUNG ON THEIR BACK AS THEY GO.

Ring-tailed lemurs, which live in groups of 3 to 25 individuals in Madagascar, really like company. They bask in the sun, play and feed together, and the females frequently take care of each other’s young. One or two offspring are born in August or September. Newborn lemurs immediately clasp the fur of their mother’s belly curling their tail round her back and are carried in this way everywhere for the first two weeks. Then the young change position, climbing onto their mother’s back, and riding there for a few months.

THE SEA OTTER HAS A SEA FOOD DIET. ON THE MENU ARE SEA URC HINS, CRUSTACEANS, FISH AND MOL LUSCS, WHICH THE OTTER EATS FLOATI NG ON ITS BACK IN THE WATER.

The world’s smallest marine mammal lives in the kelp forests on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. Sea otters spend almost their entire life in water and, when they are not hunting in the thick of the seaweed, they enjoy resting on the waves grooming their thick waterproof coats. When they submerge to hunt, they close their nose and ear apertures. Propelling themselves with their muscular legs, webbed hind feet and strong tail, they deftly reach the bottom. Although they are able to remain underwater for 6 minutes with a single breath and to swim several tens of metres deep, they prefer shallow waters as they can collect plenty of food there. They can catch swimming fish, and gather meaty titbits from vegetation at the bottom with their skilful paws.

IN A MASK The hunting weapon of dragonfly larva e is the lip-like organ called a labium or mask. This flicks out and retracts at great speed. The mask ends in moveable teeth or serrated structures, which grasp prey such as water flea larvae, caterpillars, tadpoles and even fry. They only target live, mov ing animals, which larger species can strik e from 1 to 2 centimetres. The mask is shed in the final moult, so the imago or adult inse ct does not have this organ.

FATAL STINGS

Scorpions – along with spiders – are the most dangerous arthropod predators. The stinger at the end of their tail is on constant standby, carried curved above the body. The last segment of the abdomen is modified into a spine with a pair of venom glands. After approaching its prey, the scorpion grabs the victim with its claws ending in powerful large pincers and inserts the stinger like a lance. Venom consisting of a mixture of compounds flows into the bloodstream and paralyses or kills the victim immediately.

DANGERS DANGEROUS MOUTHPARTS

The wolf spider Lycosa singoriensis is the largest eight-legged hunter in Central Europe. Although it has silk glands, it does not make a web to catch prey . It only uses its silken thread to line its 30 to 40 centimetre burrow dug in sandy soil, where it spends the day. Venturing out from its retreat at night, it stands watch over the surroundings. When a grasshopper or beetle passes by, it springs into actio n, paralysing its victim with its bite. It then injects a secretion to aid digestion into the prey insect, and then sucks out all its bod y fluids.

THE BURROWING SPIDER’S TRAP

The Hungarian burrowing spider Nemesia pannonica is a nocturnal ambush predator. It clings to the edge of its burrow lying under the lid of its shaft. It is able to sense the slightest movement of the earth with the fine hairs on its legs, for instance the rustle of a grasshopper. In the blink of an eye it throws off the cover, grabs the victim and drags it into the burrow. The unfortunate insect is pierced by the spider’s toxic jaws. The venomous compound paralyses the prey, which is then left while the concentrated digestive juices slowly liquefy its tissues.

The fish has three long filaments be tween its eyes on its forehead and the longest one end s in a small flap of skin. The fish uses this as its fishing rod and bait. While the angler lies buried in the sand on the sea floor tempting its fellow fish, its relative, the hump back anglerfish is an open-wa ter predator in the dark depths.
