i mean lions rarely eat hyenas , etc..... but sometimes they do get rid of them , iirc to decrease the rivals for their food sources, buffalo and zebra and stuff

Well I assume it's because other animals are easier to catch and provide more meat than hyenas

Some do.

Lions will eat cheetah cubs.
Bears will eat wolf cubs.
Wolves will eat anything they can kill.

Video evidence is depressing, so here's an example with a happy ending:

Mostly because herbivores have a much higher nutritional value, and other carnivores are more likely to put up a fight.

Balanced diet? Herbivore gives you meat and veggies.

Too many carnivores = too much meat.

Predators typically dont hunt other predators. He wild they? Most predators have a limited amount of energy they can expend, and they are going to waste it on fighting other predators. Google, ya lazy ****

If you had to fight for your only meal of the day, would you go up against a random cubicle worker or a well-trained MMA fighter?

Kinda that as a concept.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I think this topic is more focused on mammals and other "macro" sort of predators compared to more "micro" insect sorts.

Like I can think of several insects that match your categories but not many larger predators.

because most predators run a huge risk with every attempt they take at grabbing food. all that needs to happen for something like a big cat to starve is for them to break some teeth or take a debilitating wound, then they cant hunt and they end up starving. hunting predators, things that can fight back much harder then your average gazelle, is just too high risk.
