so can we agree that polar bears are a top 5 predator?

[Scustin Bieburr]

The polar bear's most common hunting method is called still-hunting:[56] The bear uses its excellent sense of smell to locate a seal breathing hole, and crouches nearby in silence for a seal to appear. When the seal exhales, the bear smells its breath, reaches into the hole with a forepaw, and drags it out onto the ice. The polar bear kills the seal by biting its head to crush its skull. The polar bear also hunts by stalking seals resting on the ice: Upon spotting a seal, it walks to within 100 yd (91 m), and then crouches. If the seal does not notice, the bear creeps to within 30 to 40 feet (9.1 to 12 m) of the seal and then suddenly rushes forth to attack.[53] A third hunting method is to raid the birth lairs that female seals create in the snow.[56]

Hungry polar bears are extremely unpredictable and are known to kill and sometimes eat humans.
Polar bears are stealth hunters, and the victim is often unaware of the bear's presence until the attack is underway.[68] Whereas brown bears often maul a person and then leave, polar bear attacks are more likely to be predatory and are almost always fatal.

Ah, cool, cool... now let me tell you about the Assassin Bug

A diverse group of predators who impale prey on straw-like mouthparts and pump them full of digestive enzymes; sucking out their innards like an Organ Slurpee (the second to worst flavor behind banana) and leaving behind a practically unmarred, but entirely empty exoskeleton.

Like spiders, these vampiric fiends employ a whole range of unusual hunting tactics--some cover themselves in sticky plant juices to both attract and ensnare their victims, some live in partnership with carnivorous plants, while still others camouflage their spiny bodies in dust, debris or even the corpses of past prey.

The termite assassins utilize a unique two-part cloaking technique to hunt their prey: First, they cover themselves in bits and pieces of the termite mound itself, rendering them essentially invisible. Now that they can come and go as they please, they wait near a convenient opening for a worker to wander too close, devour it and then dangle the corpse just inside the nest to attract more termites. As soon as another insect latches onto the body for disposal, it gets hauled up, slaughtered and added to the trap which, counter-intuitively, becomes more effective as the number of corpses increase... because apparently termites operate on horror movie logic.

That's right. These motherfukkers pump you full of acid, eat your insides, then wear your hollow body as a trophy.

bears in general are top 5 dead or alive.
