Vision shapes how many animals find food, avoid danger and navigate their world. In animals with two eyes, eye placement is often linked to lifestyle: predators such as lions tend to have ...

University of Queensland researchers have made an important step forward in linking changes in behaviour to the underlying development of brain circuitry. When zebrafish are learning to hunt ...

Some species of European bats are known to attack birds as they migrate to Africa. However, they must trap them while in flight: a hard task for such small predators. The behaviour has previously been ...

A killer whale was observed hunting and eating the liver of a great white shark alone. Scientists said the event revealed new insights about the hunting proficiency of orcas. The ecosystem impacts of ...

This press release is available in German. Zooplankton, small fish and squid spend hardly any time at the surface when there's a full moon. To protect themselves from their natural enemies, they hide ...

Wildlife management and hunting behaviour dynamics encompass the interplay between human harvesting practices and the responses of wild animal populations, with implications for conservation, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Wolves on the Alaskan coast now regularly kill and eat sea otters and harbor seals, scientists have discovered. The finding ...

To say studying sailfish is challenging is an understatement. These fish, often described as the "fastest fish in the world," exhibit some remarkable traits as they make their way through the oceans ...

Green Mamba’s hunting behaviour On the ground, they can move quickly, though most of their speed is expressed in trees. Branch-to-branch travel is controlled and deliberate, with sudden bursts when ...
