Here's the skull of the smallest mammal in America, a dwarf shrew, perched on the skull of one of the largest predators in the world - an Alaskan brown bear. The shrew is a fearsome predator of insects and other invertebrates, with tiny teeth typical of much larger meat eaters.

In our lives we all play both roles of predator and prey. I've been feeling particularly "preyed" on lately which upset me and I realized I don't have to just be someones victim...I'm also a hunter.

The Tiger, Panthera tigris, is found throughout India in long grass, dense thickets, and sometimes tigers even venture into old ruins. Throughout the ages, tigers have been said to possess magical powers. I wanted to capture that myth with this image and ‘cast a spell’ on the viewer. This tiger’s enchanting expression actually gave me the inspiration for my entire “Eyes of Nature” collection.
These strange larvae lay among the aphids (they are hoverfly larvae, thanks to Eddie for ID). As I watched, they caught and fed on them - this aphid waved its legs as apparently its guts were sucked out. I haven't suffered too much from aphid infestations this year, in part due to the help of predators like these, controlling the population. Note the baby aphid on the underside of the one being eaten, and the blob of orange wax, extruded as a defence.

History of the MQ-1B "Predator"
The MQ-1 "Predator" is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) that was employed primarily to collect intelligence and secondarily to engage enemy targets. Beginning its service with the Army in 1995 and later used by the U.S. Air Force, the MQ-1 was deployed in every major U.S. conflict during this period until its retirement in 2018. The MQ-1's capabilities made it uniquely qualified to conduct irregular warfare operations.
The Predator was part of a remotely piloted aircraft system. A fully operational system consisted of four aircraft, ground control station, Predator Primary Satellite Link, and spare equipment, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour missions. A Predator crew consisted of a pilot to control the aircraft and command the mission, an aircrew member to operate sensors and weapons, and a mission coordinator, when required.
The Predator and Hill Air Force Base
In 2004, the U.S. Air Force used the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) to assess the Predator's ability to strike a moving target with munitions. Crew members guided the drone remotely from Indian Springs, Nevada, and struck two moving tanks with Hellfire missiles. Because of this testing, the Predator was later used in combat to engage enemy targets. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill also provided software development and sustainment in support of the MQ-1 when in active service. Extensive UAS activities continue today on the UTTR with several different services and platforms.
The MQ-18 on display first flew on 31 January 2005, and was later assigned to Indian Springs Auxiliary Field, Nevada. During its service life, this Predator took part in combat sorties in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. After flying 28,069 hours and over 1,600 combat sorties, it retired from service in 2017 and was delivered to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display in 2020.

A close up of the Kittens face. Not so innocent now.
Note that this kitten is a tri colour male( Calico ), considered rare since they are usually sterile and have an extra X chromosone. In some cultures these cats are considered lucky.

The males are often social and may group together for life, usually with their brothers in the same litter; although if a cub is the only male in the litter then two or three lone males may form a group, or a lone male may join an existing group. These groups are called coalitions. In one Serengeti, 41% of the adult males were solitary, 40% lived in pairs and 19% lived in trios.
Hours de ordurves ? Smokey confronts his nemesis. It was hand to hand, down and dirty , there were no prisoners taken. The aftermath was awful. The Smoke got all these little hairs stuck in his teeth. It was a dental floss nightmare. (Actually they were very cute. Bonded wonderfully. Smoke is a real gentleman and was on his best behavior).
