Prey[edit]

@Kersti Nebelsiek: Hmm, I don't know if "reptiles as prey" (see edit) would really be accurate here -- I don't believe the harvestman would have killed or even attacked the skink. Most likely my cat scared a skink into dropping its tail. (On the other hand, I guess that would still position the skink as prey... just not of the harvestman?) -- Phyzome (talk) 00:54, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Than it is still prey as the cat was doing what predators do in hunt and the skink did, was skinks do to free from predators.Kersti (talk) 03:58, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
