This biome has a nutritional relationship to form a food web made up of many food chains and often there is only one leading predator in this food web, they play a very important role. important. This is a species (almost) not hunted and eaten by any species, for example: Tiger is the top predator in Asia, lion is the top animal in Africa, Komodo dragon dominates the island. Komodo, the Galapagos falcon is the top predator on the Galapagos Islands. Food net. Photo: Wiki Index But what happens when this top predator disappears from the food net or becomes weakened? This is a very interesting question! In fact, this hypothesis has happened many times and its devastating consequences are affecting the entire ecosystem. First, learn about the role of the top predator, which play an important role in maintaining ecological balance through controlling, overpowering, and regulating the numbers of other species. (from other predators to middlemen and also the flora at the bottom of the food web). Table top animals will help maintain ecological balance. Photo: Tran Vuong Fine Arts The top species will dominate other predators through … hunting on both sides, these predators play a role in controlling the number of species under its food chain, indirectly helping many other species and also protected flora populations. This protection not only takes place within the community, but also helps to control and repel exotic or invasive species outside the food web. The top predators also have an unwritten rule that they hunt only when hungry, not abuse their powers or abilities to slaughter smaller, weaker creatures. The end result is to create an ecological balance for the overall biome, so when the top predator is lost from the community, the community will fall into a disturbed and unbalanced state. . When the top species are gone There are many reasons that can cause the top species to be removed from the food net or lose the top position, one of the main reasons is due to human over hunting or the invasion of a birth. foreign objects are more overwhelming. The Everglades ecosystem, Florida, was once imbalanced by the dominant predator, the American short snout crocodile (Alligator mississippiensis), which was displaced by the exotic Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus). Alligators are eaten by Burmese pythons. Photo: KPBS The flora and fauna here have been heavily damaged by this python, in contrast the number of Burmese pythons has increased exponentially (estimated from 30,000 to more than 300,000 individuals), making the import of this python species in the Ministry of the Interior. the US ban in January 2012. In Yellowstone National Park, starting in 1914, the wolves were massacred in an effort by Congress to protect the elk population as well as agriculture and cattle here. The results are not good either! The coyote heads the food net at Yellowstone. Photo: Untamed Science After the top predator was destroyed, the prairie wolves became the new top predator, but the problem was that the small grassland wolves were unable to take down their prey. big grass like moose. As a result, the elk population becomes crippled after the attacks, and the coyote wolves become more and more daring and more populous, killing smaller animals, eventually the people. gray wolves must be restored to maintain ecological balance. Another case took place in Australia. Here, the Dingo wild dog is a predator on the top ladder but has been severely reduced in number due to frequent crossbreeding with domestic dogs (they are listed as vulnerable species on the Red List. IUCN). Dingo wild dog. Photo: New Mails The decline in the power of the food-net leader has caused two invasive predators, the red fox and the wild cat, to self-destruct rodents and marsupials and birds to extinction (20 among the 30 extinct species in Australia are due to the predation of red foxes and feral cats). The above are just some examples of countless other cases that have happened in the past, through which we can see the indispensable role of the top and more conscious predator. in the protection of these animals.

Turantula spider The turantula spider is one of the most terrifying animals on the planet, not only the giant spider, but also a predator so stealthily and so skillful that no tiny animal is hovering in its sights. chance of survival. Turantula’s hunting trick is patience. They waited for the unfortunate passerby and grabbed it without warning. Because of their size, which can be up to 12cm long with a stride of more than 70cm, Turantulas can quickly crush prey and crush them under giant pincers. Eventually they bathed the victim’s body in digestive juices and sipped this “delicious” liquid. 9. Mamba Snake Africa’s scariest animal must be the black Mamba, this giant poisonous snake that is present throughout the Southeast of the continent. Its name comes from the black skin inside the mouth, which is only exposed before it attacks. These snakes are usually passive but can be extremely aggressive when threatened. They tend to attack the victim repeatedly, secreting a mixture of neurotoxins and cardiotoxin. The probability of dying after the bite of a black Mamba snake is… 100%. However, this number has decreased thanks to the use of antidotes across the continent. 8. Fish Piranha Out of all the fish, the Piranha is possibly the most notorious. Seeing sharp teeth and strong jaw is enough to cause chills. Piranha is known as a fierce predator, living throughout the fresh water of South America. They feed in the early morning or twilight, hide in the water and wait for their little prey to pass. Then, without warning, they attack and devour their prey with unrivaled ferocity in the freshwater community. In some cases, they will hunt in groups for larger prey, including horses, rodents and even humans. 7. Gray wolf Most of the world’s top predators are completely alone, mainly relying on their courage to take down their prey. But with gray wolves, the success of the hunt depends on the cooperation of his fellow men. The characteristic attack of wolves is the chasing of many animals in the herd, causing prey to flee. A single prey is not only easy to defeat, but also safer than a prey in a resisting position. The dominant male will lead the hunt while its females follow closely behind. Once the prey falls to the ground, the flock will surround it and finish it off. 6. Komodo Dragon The largest of all the varanids, the Komodo dragon is a powerful reptile with a weight of up to about 136kg and a length of more than 3m. This animal ranked sixth in danger due to the speed, strength and stamina to knock down its prey twice its size. It also had a poisonous blow, and any survivors of the Komodo dragon’s attack would soon die from their wounds. Komodo hunts mostly in ambush, but they also run fast and swim well. Moreover, its incredible hunting ability is also combined with the ability to consume, in one meal it can eat the amount of food equal to half its body weight. 5. Crocodile There is nothing more threatening than a predator always hiding in the water, in disguise and in the environment, quietly observing the prey to plan a kill. Ranked No. 5 on the countdown list is a crocodile, a sneaky and extremely brutal predator. With extremely strong jaws and long sharp teeth, alligators hunt for many different species. Some species, like the Nile crocodile, can cut down very large prey like zebras or buffalo. Its offensive feature is to lie at the edge of the water where the animal comes to drink and then pull the unfortunate animal into the water to begin to bite when it has slices of meat for a meal. 4. Whale killer Like its name suggests, killer whales are deadly predators, combined with formidable skill and unparalleled physical strength. Killer whales have a number of ingenious techniques in their hunting weapons, which give them one of the most diverse rations of ocean predators. For example, they love to knock seals and penguins from floating ice and then catch them when they fall into the water. They also go to the beach to catch the sea bridge on the shore. Being a highly social animal, killer whales tend to live in groups of about ten to hunt together. They can even hunt white sharks! 3. American North American Bear The North American Bear, also known as the brown bear, is probably the most terrifying animal in North America. This mighty predator can stand about 2m tall and weigh more than 360kg. Its strong arms and hands can kill a person in just one click, and its strong jaws also allow it to eat everything it wants, including large mammals. Bears run fast and swim well. Facing this species in the wild would be a traumatic experience, the best response is to stand still and not run away at all. The speed of this species can reach more than 65km / h and your run can make it chase. 2. Lions Dubbed the lord of the rainforest, lions hunt even the largest prey like buffalo and wildebeest. The near-absolute success of these predators is due to a combination of skills. Lions live in groups and all members go hunting together. The young lions soon learned hunting skills through a game of fighting together, which also decided their proper role in the chase. The success rate of a lion’s hunt is only 1/5 but the hunting abilities are emphasized when we consider their prey – both large and resilient. . 1. White Shark Any animal that has unfortunately caught the white shark’s sights does not seem to have a chance of survival. The white shark occupies the top spot on the countdown list because of its outstanding hunting ability. With its elongated bodies and strong teeth, the white shark is a powerful species: swim fast and this nimble ocean athlete can bounce out of the water to tip his prey. The white shark also has several rows of sharp jagged edges, each of which is replaced immediately after being lost. In fact, a shark can have more than 50,000 teeth in its lifetime. The white shark usually starts its attack with a fatal blow, then waits for the victim to weaken from the wound before enjoying it – this makes it possible to enjoy the meal safely.
