There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
So can you explain how there can be domination, when some species is prey to another and they can´t protect their calves from attacks and getting eaten? Even when they are in packs/pods and doing all what they can to make predators to give up/flee. I am waiting with interest if you can explain it in some reasonable way?
I mean with your own words, I don´t need to see articles, which I´ve seen many times in past.
I don´t see any justification for your claim. I understand domination really something like what lions do to hyenas. Hyenas don´t even dare to try to attack lion cubs, when pride is there and especially if male lion present. Orcas attack humpback whales no matter what when they are hunting. Humpback whales are in those occasions prey and even though not helpless, I don´t remember claims, that they would have killed orcas. Your comparison looks for me very odd and far fetched. Domination is for me something very different than what you now try to suggest.
Now do you see what I mean? Hyenas can snatch lion cubs, even with adult lions being present:
Great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias)
