Forget lions and venomous snakes: meet the world's most effective hunters

The Best Hunters on the Planet · 10:17 · Video: SciShow · Watch at the source

In short: While we often associate elite predation with fierce lions or venomous snakes, the most successful hunters on Earth might be much more unexpected. This episode of SciShow explores the surprising reality of global predation.

Hosted by Michael Aranda, this SciShow episode challenges our preconceptions about what defines a top-tier predator. Rather than focusing on the traditional ferocity of lions or the lethality of venomous snakes, the video investigates a different, more surprising candidate for the title of the planet's best hunter.
