Real world critters are a lot more dangerous than most "city-folk" realize: Mother Nature has had hundreds of millions of years of an arms race going on.
In the water, you have archerfish who spit water to take down prey above their ponds' surfaces, and pistol shrimp who use cavitation to strike as hard as a .22 pistol.
In the air, there are critters who bombard prey with stones or grab them for a fatal drop on stone or impalement on sticks.
And in all environments, there are poisoners, ambushers, and pack huntersof all sizes.
