1. A bird called Enun that's hunting domesticated animals (1)
2. A rodent called Ev that's hunting animals much bigger than itself (6)
3. An insect called Fyb that's hunting reptiles (5)
4. A large mammal called Dwis that's hunting tiny insects (4)
5. A reptile called Hone that's hunting mammals (3)
6. A reptile called Osi that's hunting animals that are a little bigger (4)
7. A smart animal called Phd (pun intended) that's hunting animals they never meet (2)
8. A reptile called Ta that's hunting primates (9)
9. A little bird called Ror that's hunting insects (1)

How do we call these animals?

Answer 1

The names of the animals

must be combined with the names of their prey and unscrambled.

1. A bird called Enun that's hunting domesticated animals (1)

ENUN + PIG = PENGUIN

2. A rodent called Ev that's hunting animals much bigger than itself (6)

EV + BEAR = BEAVER

3. An insect called Fyb that's hunting reptiles (5)

FYB + TURTLE = BUTTERFLY

4. A large mammal called Dwis that's hunting tiny insects (4)

DWIS + BEETLE = WILDEBEEST

5. A reptile called Hone that's hunting mammals (3)

HONE + CAMEL + CHAMELEON

6. A reptile called Osi that's hunting animals that are a little bigger (4)

OSI + OTTER + TORTOISE

7. A smart animal called Phd (pun intended) that's hunting animals they never meet (2)

PHD + LION = DOLPHIN

8. A reptile called Ta that's hunting primates (9)

TA + GORILLA = ALLIGATOR

9. A little bird called Ror that's hunting insects (1)

ROR + WASP + SPARROW

Finally,

indexing into the names of the animals reveals that we call them PREDATORS.
