  • Cone shell. Shell of a Mediterranean cone snail (Conus ventricosus) on the beach. Cone snails are highly venomous, predatory, marine gastropods that capture their prey using a long, harpoon-like, modified tooth (radula). The harpoon is launched out of the mouth on an extendable proboscis, and injects a powerful neurotoxin (venom), which instantly paralyses the victim. The sting of small cones is not fatal to humans, but that of some of the larger, tropical species, such as the Textile cone (Conus textile), can be. Some cone snail neurotoxins (conotoxins) have pain relieving properties that may provide a non-addictive painkiller (analgesic), 1000 times as powerful as morphine.

  • Helvella is a genus of ascomycete fungus of the family Helvellaceae. The mushrooms, commonly known as elfin saddles, are identified by their irregularly shaped caps, fluted stems, and fuzzy undersurfaces. They are found in North America and in Europe. Well known species include the whitish H. crispa and the grey H. lacunosa. They have been reported to cause gastrointestinal symptoms when eaten raw. and Hemerobius is a genus of lacewings in the family Hemerobiidae. It is found throughout Europe and North America. Like most lacewings, both the larvae and adults are predatory, primarily eating acarines, scale insects, psyllids, aphids, thrips, and the eggs of lepidopterans and whiteflies.

  • Male Red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) perched on a branch. This bird is a predatory songbird that has a hooked beak to feed on meat, but lacks the talons of a bird-of-prey.

Prey ranges from insects to worms and small birds, voles, or lizards. Photographed in Israel in August

  • Red panda (Ailurus fulgens). The red panda is found in mountainous forests in China, north- eastern India and Nepal. It reaches a length of around 1 metre, and feeds almost exclusively on bamboo leaves, although it also takes small rodents, small birds and birds' eggs.

A solitary animal, it meets others only to mate, but the young may stay with their mother for over a year. The red panda is most often classified as a member of the raccoon family.
