Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement

2 answers:

No, but it is known that old/sick prey is much easier to catch. The evidence is that, say, there's no old and sick prey. The predator has to eat regardless, and whatever is there for it to take, it will. Think of a lion and a zebra, and the zebra is eating grass in the middle of a field. The lion is going to take that chance.

The pmi for remains of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could best be estimated by

scoundrel [369]

The post mortem interval of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could be best estimated by the insects found in the body, in that case forensic science need to listen to what those little creatures have to say, insects could tell if the body has been moved from the crime scene, how long it´s been in an specific place, and how long it´s been since death until found, every group of insects can tell something different, from worms, arachnids to flyes, each one of them has a time to get into the body, so it could tell you for how long it´s been dead.
