| Jul 25, 2022 at 10:03 | comment | added | runlevel0 | @DKNguyen Predators are just as interested in territories. For one it may be the "motherland", but for other it will be their hunting ground. That's BTW the very reason why most terrestrial predators are territorial (towards other predators): The presence and density of prey, access to males/females and other resources (water, hiding, outlooks). Actually, a group of predators may not be interested at all in eating humans, but in keeping them out of their territory to avoid the humans from killing and eating their prey. | |
| Jun 28, 2022 at 17:34 | comment | added | DKNguyen | @runlevel0 I'd argue that the main characteristic of predators is that want to eat the human more than kill the human. Indeed, enemies are often more concerned about taking or holding territory than just killing. Wanton killing is almost never the objective. | |
| Jun 28, 2022 at 13:36 | comment | added | runlevel0 | the difference between "predator" and enemy would be actually completely irrelevant. As the main charactestic of both, predator and enemy, is that they want to kill the humans. If it is for the greater honour of the Motherland or for lunch is not really relevant. | |
