The Food Chain
Taking a look at the ' Who-eats-Whom' in the natural world.
A predator* became the prey.
A Northern Pike caught its last glimpse of daylight before being swallowed whole. As difficult as it might be to see, I realized it was all a part of the natural food chain. All living creatures need to hunt and eat in order to survive.
*The Northern Pike is a carnivorous predatory fish. It eats fish, frogs, insects and even small mammals. It'll hunt and eat another pike if hungry. When I was living up north in the Canadian Northwest Territories years ago. I'd witnessed these notoriously nasty pikes catching and eating small ducklings.
Taken on: Aug. 2021, Sturgeon River, St. Albert, Alberta.
