Predators and prey



We often imagine carnivores as killing machines, successfully capturing prey whenever they please. This video shows how untrue that notion is. In the beginning of the video, we see what appears to be a cottontail rabbit bouncing around the shrub in the background. Then, at 00:16, the prey bounds to the lower-right of the screen, being chased by a bobcat. When we imagine the end of this encounter, the rabbit makes it away safely.
