For the purposes of this comic, the only “canonical” texts are the first Predator film and the first Batman vs. Predator miniseries–all other comics and movies involving the Predator are ignored. As for when it’s supposed to take place in DC continuity–I don’t really care. By including the miniseries as history I’ve already placed it outside the DC canon anyway.
I worked with this picture from October 16th I had originally decided was not a keeper. After some work, it became somewhat more "a keeper."
Endangered Amur (or Siberian) Tiger in Brookfield Zoo, Illinois, US
It is "one of the largest non-aquatic mammalian predators in the world" - quote from Wikipedia. The only larger one, I think, is a polar bear.

I could not even change the lens :-)

A rather unusual look at a Damselfly. This is a teneral Common Blue Damselfly I found at Wollaton yesterday, being quite a cool day there were a lot of grounded inactive Damselflies on low vegetation, this allowed for this interesting angle. This nicely illustrates the complex nature of a Damselflies mouthparts, it is easy to forget that these guys are accomplished predators.
This was a 4 image stack at F/8, not my deepest of stacks, but thought it was interesting to see.
Daddy kite will be responsible for food and come back to deliver it to mommy kite while they are having eggs to hatch. They usually perform food exchange in the air.

Large alligator at Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, TX, they are famous for their gators. Can see many missing teeth, scars on his snout, etc. I thought this perspective was interesting. Some sun on the day I was there, Alligators were out on the bank sunning, this one was about 9' tip to tip.
Yesterday we had wild weather in Ocean Shores. We were treated with three bald eagles while we were beachcomber afterwards. This one was snacking on a seagull.
So today I received Richard's Predator. And I must honestly say that this is one of the best, if not the best Predator sculpt I've ever seen. I decided to show him off in this picture without the mask because the sculpted head is absolutely stunning.
I thought it'd be nice to display my own Predator from a while ago next to his, alongside Richard's line of figures from the Alien Franchise (Namely, the Alien and Facehugger).
If you haven't picked one up yet, do so now before he runs out, it's absolutely worth the money both as a collectible and as a challenge to paint.
we didn't see any signs of predators around but this springbock herd were on the run like cheetahs or some other predator was after them. this image only shows a small part of the herd. KTP, South Africa
It was amazing to watch this Merlin pursuing a Goldfinch a couple of weeks ago: I was rather lucky to capture this shot as the raptor dived in for a killer blow, but missed the lucky finch by a gnat's whisker!
Seemingly Chiselled from stone the Marsh Harrier (when it comes to looks at least) is a 'brute' of a bird
A winged nightmare whether you be avian or small mammal., this super predator can twist and dive in a blink of an eye., those razor sharp claws ready to tear you apart with lethal efficiency
Photographically it's a game of patience., waiting., and then hoping your quick enough to capture the deadly moment
Yellowfin tuna flank a female great white shark off the coast of Mexico's Isla de Guadalupe. While the tuna are a preferred prey item of the shark, their speed and maneuverability allow them to keep a safe distance from their predator. The sharks have to rely on stealth in order to ambush attach the speedy prey.
While it's not uncommon to see yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe, they seem far more abundant around the island in the past couple of years. I'm not sure it's a result of El Nino effects or not, but I definitely saw noticeably more tuna around the sharks than usual on this trip.
Warbler Week, Day 4...Like us, the Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina) is an omnivore. Only, it varies its diet mostly by season. During the spring and summer in Canada, it feasts predominantly on spruce budworms and other insects. Down in the Caribbean in the fall and winters, it will dine predominantly on fruits (which it spears with its beak and then devours) and nectar (it has a unique, tubular tongue that allows it to sip them!). It will go so far as to defend favored flowers from hummingbirds.
Can you imagine eating only meat all summer and fruits all winter?
In this case, it's a bit difficult not to feel sorry for the prey. Paralyzed and then liquefied doesn't seem like a pleasant end to life.
My last trip to the Molotov Line, just a couple of days ago, proved to be an ultimate failure. Lots of uselessly burnt fuel, lots of driving on dusty roads and ploughing my way through dark, swampy thickets. All in vain. There was not even a trace of things I was looking for. Judging it from a different perspective I could say that another swath of terrain was checked thoroughly...
While lurking there I noticed a tree which looked somewhat apocalyptic to me so I tried to approach it to take a snap - only to be stopped dead in my tracks by a menacing sight of a terrifying predator waiting in ambush. I then realized that I made 200 kilometers to come to this place and I had not seen a single elephant, rhino or even a lion. The area was utterly cleansed... and I knew who, or what was behind it... Monster eyed me lazily, probably considering a puny human to be a sorrowful prey, not worth the usual effort of beheading the victim with a lightning speed. It seemed to wait for a more sizeable morsel, possibly a whale from a nearby water-filled hole.
I took a snap and then run pell-mell to my car. I throw my camera bag inside and, not bothering to slam the door shut, I drove off Mad-Max style across the fields - never to come back again.
