rip predators

[CoolDud55]

I live in a jungle. There are predators in the jungle. When they got hungry, they attacked turtles and plenty of capybara. They all died of blood loss, I even saw a panther die after eating a turtle. Right now, the jungle I live in is full of corpses of dead cobras and maybe a panther or two. There was a panther that survived the blood loss, but then died of an infection. Anyone else seeing this?

Well most of my colonists' injuries are from rabbits so it seems about right.

Have you ever been attacked by a turtle?

They are seriously badass little pricks who are more stubborn than donkeys when they want to be.

Rimworld turtles are just some genetics experiment gone wrong in turtle war machines.

I've had i don't know how many armed colonies lost to a single manhunter squirrel. I pity the predators who eat other animals for a living

In my experience the Lynx wins.

Then dies to blood loss 8 hours later and my colony wins because lynx is far more tasty than rat.

My predators are mostly fine. I would say 5% die after hunting.
I have a close eye on the wildlife tab. Because a dying predator is an easy meal.

Predators die to blood loss from missed parts(like tail) pretty frequent. Because such blood losses doesnt stop without treating and lone animals cant treat themselves.

Hey not my fault they didn't check self tend.

... from missed parts(like tail) pretty frequent. ...

I do see a lot of missing tails actually. Thinking back, 3 of the last 4 games I spotted multiple predators(per game) missing tails. Mostly from deer, rams, or other similarly size prey. I don't even check on the wild life that often, and still I recall seeing it frequently.

EDIT:
Though what we consider "too frequent" may be skewed by our ability to check on the wild life in an omnipresent manner.

Pretty annoying when you have trained haulers that can hunt. If they lose their mouth their manipulation goes to zero and you can't fix it.

Well, you can at least get some simple meals out of it.
