Took this dramatic image recently of a great blue heron eating a brown water snake. Thought it might belong in this article, but I see there are already a lot of images already. Dropping it here to defer to others. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:40, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's a fine image. We do as you say have enough here already, especially of vertebrates. It would be nice to make a well-organised page of predation images over on Commons, if you felt like doing that? Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:45, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

can we make the fact that this is a synonym of predator and prey more evident cause i got pretty confused!

Sorry to hear it, but the first sentence says exactly that, about ad simply as it could be said. Prey obviously isn't a synonym, as it's at the receiving end... Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:55, 21 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
