Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.



Mountain lion. Just chilling in the mountains, napping for 14 hours a day, occasionally sneaking up on a deer, they have life figured out.
Then a developer comes and turns your home into a ski resort and sub division for retirees. You try to find new territory but the other mountain lions attack you. You’re forced further away into unsuitable habitat and eventually starve to death.
I would simply embrace my new source of food and make sure the bodies aren’t found.
Eat the rich!
