Document Summary
Some animals, such as merganser ducks, have tooth like projections on their bill to hold onto slippery fish. Foxes grab the prey by the skin of the neck and shake until its neck breaks ( shake and break ). Wolves use a technique called slash and shock wherein they run around larger prey continuous hitting it making it bleed to the point of sending it into shock. Weasels bite into the cranium (brain case) of their preys head using their canines. Cats bite into the neck and separate the neck vertebrates using their canines: (1) modified bills are used called raptorial bills which are curved and sharp (e. g. hawks and shrike birds). Cuterebra (bot fly larvae) can sense the temperature change and shoot up to attach to the hairs on the stomach of the animals . Their solution is to move around to fruit rich regions when necessary which isn"t always in the south (nomadic).
