When you're watching animal documentaries, do you cheer for the predator or the prey? Eagle swoops down after hawk, lion chases antelope, cheetah chases meerkat, wildebest tries to cross river full of crocodiles, etc.

I always cheer for the prey. But I've got a friend who says he feels bad for the predator when they don't get a meal. :x

Its situational IMO. If the predator is about to starve, than go predator. It also depends on the prey.

Predator catching prey is so predictable. I always support the underdog. I only feel bad for the predator if the others take all the food.

Depends on the animals. I don't like wolves, so I never cheer for them. I like badgers, so I always cheer for them. Generally, I root for the predator.

Neither? It doesn't make much sense to cheer for either of them. They're only participating in natural behavior.

I don't cheer for anyone. I leave that to the cheerleaders.

Predator as long as it's a big cat. well, any cat really. nothing better than watching a cat get a mouse, or a Lion get a zebra.

I usually side with the prey. Like when I see a lion chasing a gazelle, I cheer for the gazelle. It's always heartbreaking when you see the gazelle run for so long only to be taken down tired. But I guess if you really want to look at it biologically, neither one is correct, because the predator/prey relationship is all part of a balanced ecosystem. I do cheer for the predator of the prey is something dumb, like fish or bugs.

I always cheer for the predator, they need to eat, and in order to do that they must kill, it's just the way it goes. Besides, there's always way more preys than predators, so even if an antelope dies there's lots more where that one came from, it all balances out.

I like this question. I'm usually for the prey, I guess because inside I'm always hoping for a David and Goliath type scenario.

Funny how Tigers and the like are dying out isn't it and the prey keeps going.

Man the greatest Predator of them all.

Depends because once the poor polar bear could not catch a seal in the pile and the injuries crippled him because he was agressive, but the stupid seals got away and he died.
