Can you think of a single animal in nature that doesn't have to earn it's food through some form of cost?.


What about scavengers? Or what about young animals who are nursed by their mothers?




Scavengers for sure pay a cost. They don't just scavenge any food, they scavenge the food that has been abandoned. And sometimes there is no abandoned food available and so they have to engage a larger animal in a pack. The costs involved seem to be energy expended in getting the food, via travel or fighting.


Fighting? Scavengers don't always fight for their food; I can remember many a time where I "fought" to be the first in line for the Costco samples. :tongue:

As for expending energy via travel, how is this different than people who travel to Costco for the free smaples? :undecided:

As for baby animals who are nursed, I think that's a good point. Parents invest the cost in place of the child. The cost still exists but I agree it doesn't really fall on the kid. But oh, it will :evil2:


What about plants? They get free food from the sun without ever having to work for it, all they have to do is stay out of the shade...:sunny:
