Animal Planet :: Howloween

And the Peculiar Predator Prize Goes To...

Horrifying Hunters
Spooked by dreams of a sponge that buries its prey alive or a blind fish that sucks the guts out of its dead prey? Encounter a few horrifying hunters.

Stylish Assassins
A shark that lashes its prey with a knife-like tail and a bird that nabs fish with its bladed beak are among these animal assassins.

Lethal Lookers
These predators look so good they barely have to move when hunting — the prey comes to them! Sneak a peak at these unusual hunters.

Athletic Killers
Whether they are fish shooting at land-based bugs or whales teaming up to gather food, these marine and freshwater creatures perform Olympic-sized feats to snag a meal.
