Ambush predator animals
383 species
Ambush predators are carnivorous animals that capture or trap prey by stealth, luring, or by (typically instinctive) strategies utilizing an element of surprise. They are also called sit-and-wait predators as they avoid fatigue. Ambush predators conceal themselves waiting patiently for the prey to get near, before launching a sudden overwhelming attack that quickly incapacitates and captures the prey.
