Nature has engineered master hunters, each equipped with lethal weapons that keep them at the top of the food chain. Bald Eagles patrol the skies of North America, swooping down upon unsuspecting prey with their powerful talons. In tropical climates, the stealthy praying mantis impales its victims with incredible speed and accuracy. The hyena dominates the African savannah with its crushing jaws and souped-up musculature.
