Ever wondered why certain animals are at the top of the food chain?
Animals who eat other animals, but who don’t have natural predators who prey on them, are called apex animals. These animals are carnivores, meaning they only eat meat and therefore prey on other creatures, like lions preying on zebras. Apex animals are also strong and well equipped to hunt their prey. Examples of apex animals include:
- Lions
- Leopards
- Jackals
- Sharks
- Crocodiles
- Eagles
- Whales
- Seals
