Animals are a group of living things. They generally feed on organic matter, can feel, can move, can move autonomously, or can move things. Animals also have a variety of behaviors that can be seen as animal responses to stimuli. Behavior is the science of animal behavior. One of the more famous behavioral theories is the instinct theory proposed by Conrad Lorenz. The following is a detailed introduction, take a look!

In the wild, there is only one law: eat or be eaten. We all know that this is a world of the weak and the strong, whether it is the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. Do you know the strongest predators in the animal kingdom?

1, orcs

After the scientists' exploration, do you know the strongest predator in the animal world?

It can grow up to 9 meters long and weighs about 9000 kg. The average life span of the female species is about 50 years, and the average life span of males can be up to 30 years. Whaling preys on a variety of marine animals, from small fish to seals, sharks, dolphins, and other whales. The skin of whales is smooth and constantly renews itself. This will help improve swimming efficiency and their average march speed is 5 to 6.5 kilometres per hour.

2、Tiger

The most fearsome predator of the Asian jungle, weighing up to 300 kg. It lives and hunts alone, is muscular and fast, and is also a class of deadly predators that are unbeatable in the wild. The average lifespan of a tiger in the wild is about 15 years, while the average lifespan of a captive tiger is 26 years. Like humans, tigers recognize colors and use their urine to mark territory.

3. Great White Shark

It hunts small fish, whales, turtles, and seals with its sense of smell and more than 300 sharp teeth, making it the highest predator in the ocean. The average life span of a great white shark is about 70 years or more. It is the largest known predatory fish on the planet, reaching lengths of 3.4 to 6.1 meters and weighing about 520 kg to 2,268 kg, with female species usually larger than males. Sharks are known to have huge brains that harmonize with the highly developed senses of top predators.

4. Lion

Found in Asia and Africa, this fierce predator is the second largest member of the feline family, after the tiger. Living in groups of 10 to 40 members, lions chase their prey with group enclosures and then kill them by piercing their trachea with their sharp teeth. Wild populations are declining due to poaching, deforestation, and ecological damage. The average weight of a lion is about 180 kg, while the average weight of a female is about 130 kg. The average lifespan of a wild lion is 10-14 years, while the average lifespan in captivity is 20-25 years.

5. Polar bear

Living in very cold conditions, their thick fur and a layer of fat under the skin are called blubber. They have no natural predators in their habitat and are therefore classified as apex predators. This apex predator lives in the Arctic and has a lifespan of 15 to 18 years in the wild, however, in captivity, the lifespan is twice as long as in the wild. They have an excellent sense of smell, which helps them hunt seals, which are their main food source. The biggest threat to the species is not hunting, but the effects of global warming and environmental pollution.

6、Eagle

It uses strong wings and sharp talons to tear apart prey, and it has good eyesight to spot prey from high up, and then it will quickly dive into the water to catch its prey. They prey on rabbits, small birds, snakes, and rodents. The most widespread species of eagle is found mainly in Mexico and western North America. Body length can be 75 to 90 cm, with a wingspan of 1.9 to 2.3 meters. They can fly at speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour and prefer to fly over mountains, plateaus, and grasslands. In search of food, it can fly more than 100 km/hour. This species can live up to 38 years in the wild, and 50 years in captivity.

7、Bay crocodile

The largest extant reptile, it can grow up to 5 meters and weigh more than 1000 kg. They are found in Australia, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea and hunt their prey by lying still in the water and waiting for them to approach, then striking with deadly precision and dragging them into the water, including deer, wild boar, monkeys, fish, and other crocodiles. Their night vision and keen senses make them one of the world's most successful top predators.

8. Snow Leopard

Hard to spot, they live on the slopes of South and Central Asia and prey on animals larger than them. Snow leopard cubs are born blind and cannot see until nine days later. Most of these endangered species are found in the rugged mountains of Central Asia, including Nepal, India, Pakistan, Mongolia, China, Afghanistan, and the Himalayas in Russia, though they prefer steep, rocky terrain.

9. Kokomo dragon

Killing its prey by biting it, it will inject thousands of bacteria into its prey's body. Even if the prey escapes, it is likely to die within 24 hours due to bacterial infection. Because of its extremely limited habitat, it has no natural predators, making it one of the top 10 predators. They can only be seen on five islands in southeastern Indonesia, and the average lifespan of a Kokomo dragon in the wild is about 30 years.

10. Grizzly Bear

A feared carnivore in North America, it is smaller than polar bears and Alaskan brown bears but is known for its frequent attacks on approaching humans. It has sharp claws and teeth and attacks its prey at great speed. In the wild, the bear subspecies have a total length of 198 cm and an average lifespan of 22 years, while females live slightly longer, at 26 years. These species prefer to live in dense forests and sub alpine meadows, wherewith can run at speeds of up to 56 km per hour.
