I often think of the life of an animal.
Even the top predators have to hunt for every meal. They might never be hunted themselves but it sure would not be an easy life.
Look at Bears. When the Salmon are running, the bears fail more times than they pull in a fish.
Baby turtle survival rate is pitiful. 999 out of 1000 hatchlings die.
Tasmanian Devils scavenge for carcasses.
Watching Terns dive for their meal, 10% success rate?
Female Black Widow Spiders often eat their mating partner.
The Australia Marsupial Mouse copulates so frenetically that it dies.
Worker ants are born purely to work every day of their lives until death releases them.
Koalas eat nothing but Gum Leaves.
A whole lot of the animal kingdom go through starvation until they can find food.
The Shrew has to eat up to 3 times it's own weight everyday. If they stop moving and eating, they can die within 3 hours.
Humming Birds flap their wings 50 times a second and have to continuously feed to keep up the energy to fly.
Yes, I often think about the incredibly harsh life of animals.
