Methods of hunting

Let's consider weasels. Weasels are small hunters that learn to anticipate the reactions of their prey, so they can make a lethal strike. Weasels are adapted for a high-stakes, high-energy form of predation, which doesn't involve constructed traps but rather a direct physical pursuit and attack.

Weasels often begin by stealthily stalking their prey. They use cover and terrain to get as close as possible without alerting the prey. Once they are within striking distance, weasels engage in a rapid and determined chase. They can zigzag and make sudden turns to keep up with evasive prey. Weasels use their sharp teeth and claws to deliver a precise and lethal bite to the prey's neck, effectively immobilizing it. Weasels may consume a portion of the prey immediately and cache the rest for later consumption.
