Wild Cat's Prey Index - Page 2By: C.M.Shorter
By: C.M.Shorter
The following is a listing of prey for our Wild
Cats of the World throughout the world. All Wild Cats are Carnivorous and
prey
consists of a wide variety of animals, although some Wild Cats
will eat grasses, fallen fruit and other vegetable matter to
obtain its moisture content.
A natural symbiotic relationship exists
between Predator & Prey.
One cannot exist in healthy conditions without the other in order
to establish the fine balance nature intended for both species
to survive.
