The natural world is full of beautiful, interesting and terrifying creatures. Animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors have only one goal: survival. However, most fall somewhere in the middle of the food chain, meaning that that survival is made complicated by the number of other animals looking to eat them and their young. When it comes to the world of the wild, the name of the game is definitely eat or be eaten.  

This is not true for apex predators. These fascinating and deadly animals rule the land. sea and sky. They have no true equals or creatures more dangerous than they are, with the exception of perhaps man. True apex predators dominate their spheres of the natural world and can have their pick of other creatures when it comes to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some are made dangerous by their strength, their natural weapons, their speed or their deadly intelligence. Many have an impressive combination of these traits, making them the true killers of nature.
