A rather pointless, incuratable list which would include almost all predatory mammals, about 2/3 of predatory fish, most snakes, and about a million invertebrate species. There might be some mileage in a general treatment of olfactory-driven predation, but that needs a completely different setup and material. In the meantime, this isn't it. Suggest deletion, as I'm unaware of any good redirect targets - please feel free to suggest some. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:17, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article as it is is just a mess. A workable article on the subject would be so different that we might as well delete, and then let someone recreate, probably with a slightly different title.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think the subject itself is worth inclusion, but as it stands, I definitely agree with the OP; this is definitely not a necessary article. I would potentially suggest merging the content with Predation#Specialization, but as it stands, I'm not really sure how. Sleddog116 (talk) 16:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
