I’m assuming, because survival is a fear-based modality, that prey tend to lean towards flight rather than offensive moves.

But are there prey who go searching for predators, who in response, feign injury to lure them in – aside from humans?

    it would be weird for something that’s never a predator to seek out a predation event. getting into fights for no apparent reason generally doesn’t end well. Eventually your luck runs out.

    there are animals that seek out confrontation aggressively- like elephants will chase down lions that threaten their kids, but it would be surprising for even a pride of lions to take out an adult elephant.
