What “kleptoparasite” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediakleptoparasite
- nounAn animal that engages in kleptoparasitism.
- verbTo engage in kleptoparasitism
Kleptoparasitism is a form of feeding behavior in which one animal — i.e. the kleptoparasite — deliberately takes food from another animal, often via aggressive confrontations. The strategy is evolutionarily stable when stealing is less costly than direct predation, such as when food is scarce or when physically weaker/less assertive victims are abundant and unlikely to fight back.
