Who eats who
While talking with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enochsmiles earlier today, the question came up of what baby pelicans sound like, so I went to YouTube to find out. (If you're curious, you can listen to one here.) I was mildly horrified to see that one of the related videos was of a pelican eating ducklings, and even more surprised to see that one of the videos listed as related to that video was of a lion at the San Francisco Zoo apparently eating a cat.
Intrigued by the notion of larger animals eating their smaller relatives, I executed the following Google searches, reproduced here for posterity:
"pelican eats duck": 12,200 results
"lion eats cat": 43,600 results
"tiger eats cat": 1 result
"wolf eats dog": 1920 results
"chimpanzee eats monkey": 5 results
"capybara eats rat": 0 results
Got any more pairs? Share 'em in the comments and share the pain.

Forgot the converse
It's not a "food chain" so much as a "circle of lunch".
