The question is an easy one to answer as we know from magpies pestering and attacking cats that the same happens with seagulls and I suspect other bird species. Perhaps magpies and seagulls are the most aggressive in this regard as there appears to be more reports concerning these species than for other species. It …
Seagulls have the ability eat kittens as there are many videos on social media of seagulls eating relatively large animals such as squirrels, rabbits and rats. They swallow them whole. In the video on this page, we see a seagull swallowing whole a dead squirrel. Perhaps it was killed on the road as the seagull …
A security camera caught a flat out fight between a red tabby domestic cat and a coyote on what appears to be the porch of a house. The cat was almost certainly male (ginger tabbies are normally male). It is an instructive video although a bit hard to watch because it shows us how tough …

First things first: the picture that I refer to in the title is on a separate page where there are no adverts. This is to satisfy the demands of advertisers which I fully understand. It is a gruesome picture. I am publishing it on this website because it might fascinate people. It might be educational. …

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada: There is a belief that global warming is causing bobcats to eat more domestic cats. The chain of events is pretty straightforward. Global warming causes more droughts and forest fires. These reduce the number of prey animals. In turn, this means the usual wild prey animals are scarcer for bobcats and …

If you were researching whether mountain lions attack and kill domestic, stray and feral cats, this photo and video probably answers the question pretty conclusively. Although observers of the video can’t be sure that the animal is a cat. Although it very much looks like it. It might be a small dog. It is a …

Whether a cat falls prey to the much larger and capable coyote depends on the individual animals involved in the encounter. In this instance the cat chases off the coyote; no competition. Surprisingly, the coyote is scared of this modest, standard-sized domestic cat and runs off. Perhaps in this instance the coyote was ill or …

In July 16 it was World Snake Day which is appropriate because on the Facebook page of Save the Daintree Rainforest they featured a photograph of a huge scrub python which was crossing the road at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. They are also known as amethystine pythons and are the longest snake …

It’s reported that the coyote population is booming in Florida. The article that I’m reading does not tell me why but it is probably because of Covid. There have been many instances of wildlife encroaching upon human settlements because they’ve become quieter due to social distancing and lockdowns. Temporarily, the world reverted to a bygone …

The truth of the matter is that leopards “become extremely cautious around larger predators such as lions and tigers, and prefer to retreat to cover or the safe haven of a tree rather than face a direct encounter”. That, I believe, satisfactorily answers the question in the title. They don’t want to fight lions because …
The UK government has some great animal welfare and conservation plans which I have written about. One is the rewilding of the UK with the wildcat, the lynx and the white-tailed eagle to cite three animals. There are fears, however, that eagles will kill lambs, piglets and cats. You could also add small dogs. And …

People ask whether a fox is a danger to a wandering, outdoor domestic cat and the answer depends upon the age, the sex, the character of the fox and the cat, and of course the circumstances. However, by-and-large, in my UK experience, the cat and the fox respect each other because they both see the …
By the time cheetahs are four-months-of-age they are able to outrun spotted hyenas and lions but until that age newly mobile cubs are very vulnerable to predators including spotted hyenas. And therefore the answer to the question in the title is, yes, with respect to young cheetahs. M.K. Laurenson in his study published in 1994, …
