Some species of European bats are known to attack birds as they migrate to Africa. However, they must trap them while in flight: a hard task for such small predators. The behaviour has previously been ...

University of Queensland researchers have made an important step forward in linking changes in behaviour to the underlying development of brain circuitry. When zebrafish are learning to hunt ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. California ground squirrels of all ages and genders were observed actively hunting the small rodents Flesh-eating squirrels which ...

A killer whale was observed hunting and eating the liver of a great white shark alone. Scientists said the event revealed new insights about the hunting proficiency of orcas. The ecosystem impacts of ...

Data gathered through years of observation reveal an innocuous-seeming ant is disrupting an ecosystem in East Africa, illustrating the complex web of interactions among ants, trees, lions, zebras and ...

Dolphins already have a reputation for being unusually clever. They communicate with each other, recognise individuals, learn new behaviours and have even been observed using objects as tools. But a ...

Snakes are often imagined as solitary predators that rely on stealth and surprise to catch their prey. But some observations suggest that hunting alone may not always be necessary. A study of Erabu ...

Wildlife management and hunting behaviour dynamics encompass the interplay between human harvesting practices and the responses of wild animal populations, with implications for conservation, ...

To say studying sailfish is challenging is an understatement. These fish, often described as the "fastest fish in the world," exhibit some remarkable traits as they make their way through the oceans ...

Researchers demonstrated the relationship between improvements in zebrafish's hunting skills and the development of sensory coding in a part of the brain which responds to visual stimuli. University ...
