I named great whites but most large sharks are apex predators. Another that comes to mind are tiger sharks.
As well as hammerheads..
While these guys may be preyed upon from time to time they pretty much have no real time natural enemies once they reach full blown adult stage.. And the longer they live the bigger they get!!!!!..
In other words they have no predator that actively stalks them..
Mountain lions????
Timber Rattlers...
cobras, mambas, etc. pretty much all of the large truly seriously poisonous snakes (talking about the ones that bite and you die within seconds to minutes.)as well as the real large constrictors.
There may be more to this list as far as species goes but one has to set parameters and I don't really know what the parameters are for being a true APEX predator.
I will have to admit that I looked the word up before I answered.. I laughed when I saw what it said and told myself I knew that. I just couldn't access my RAM due to intercranial interference at that moment. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif..... James L.
