Document Summary
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. 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). When birds like this have movements that is unpredictable and is not migration it is called being irruptive: cross bills are seed specialists. Their solution is to be highly nomadic and irruptive because they also move to fine seed and nut crops: owls are small mammal specialists who are irruptive as well.
