Tiny predators don’t just survive by being fast or sneaky. Some of them hunt in ways that feel like a glitch in the system.

These aren’t just scaled-down versions of big predators. They’ve evolved whole new approaches to catch prey that’s just as fast, and often just as dangerous, as they are. Most of the world never sees them work. But the strategies are complex, eerie, and often uncomfortably smart.
