Predator-class fighters were produced by Sienar Fleet Systems and used by the Fel Empire during the Sith-Imperial War and Second Imperial Civil War.
This class of a fighter is considered a successor to the famous TIE/IN interceptor. Equipped with hyperdrive and a deflector shield, TIE Predator is a marvel of engineering in a galaxy far far away.

Sumatran Tigers
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Felidae
Genus: Panthera
Species: P. tigris
Subspecies: P. t. sumatrae
Trinomial name: Panthera tigris sumatrae
Habitat and Distribution: Found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in lowland and montane forests.
Size: Up to 7-8 feet in length, about 2+ feet tall at the shoulder; 200-275 pounds
Wild Diet: Wild pig, deer, tapirs, will actually eat anything it can catch
Predators: Humans, young tigers can fall prey to other tigers, leopards, and snakes
Lifespan: 10-12 years in the wild; 18-20 years in zoos
Reproduction: Maturity is reached by 3-4 years of age. Gestation lasts 100-110 days. Average litter size is 2-4 cubs. Cubs weigh a little over two pounds at birth and nurse about 6-10 weeks. By 18 months of age tigers are ready to be out on their own and hunt their own food.
Behavior: Tigers are generally solitary animals. Both male and female tigers map out their own territory by spraying urine on trees, bushes, and the ground. The specific range size of the Sumatran tiger is not known, however the population density is approximately 4-5 adult tigers per 40 square miles in lowland rainforest. Tigers are not very active most of the time. They sleep about 18-20 hours a day. Sumatran tigers are also a cat that enjoys the water and will swim to cool down in the hot jungle.
Conservation
Status: Critically Endangered
The wild Sumatran tiger population is estimated at 250-300. There are about 200 Sumatran tigers that live in zoos around the world; over 70 of those are in the USA. There are only five remaining subspecies of tiger (Amur also known as Siberian, Bengal, Indochinese, South China, and Sumatran). The three other subspecies have been extinct since the 1950s (Caspian, Javan, and Bali).
Interesting Facts
Tigers are excellent swimmers and can easily cross rivers and lakes five miles wide. They are also the largest members of the cat family. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of the tiger subspecies and has the darkest coat. All tigers have suffered from poaching, as well as loss of habitat to human settlement, and conflict with farmers over tigers hunting their farm-raised animals. At one time, tigers could be found as far west as eastern Turkey. Now tigers are only found in areas of eastern and southern Asia.
The RQ-1 Predator is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system. The Predator is a system, not just an aircraft. The fully operational system consists of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator primary satellite link communication suite and 55 people. ..
Ok, so I had a few friends over at the weekend and I asked them if they'd mine posing for me. Needless to say, they did.
Otherwise known as the Hippie Predator from Predator 2. He appeared with the Elder and the other Lost Hunters at the end of the movie.
Not a good picture, but it shows a lot of the parts I picked up. I adore the boxy look of this carb - it's a shame I don't have anything to put it on.
These speed parts were used on (or kept as spares) for the cars Jeff raced from 1977 through 1987 (particularly on the 1982 Camaro below, I'm told): www.racingsportscars.com/driver/photo/Jeff-Loving-USA.html
Mammal traps, such as this one baited with an egg, are seen widely in New Zealand, in an attempt to control the populations of predators.
New Zealand has an ambitious goal to rid the country of the most damaging introduced predators by 2050. The species being targeted primarily are rats, stoats and possums, which have caused huge problems for the vulnerable indigenous wildlife such as the flightless birds.

Anyone know what type of wasp or hornet this is?

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.
