[QUOTE="Johnald Chaffinch, post: 16920, member: 261"] it's kind of similar to when a big cat goes for the neck to suffocate it's prey, it's the easiest way to immobilize the whole animal. i suppose they've evolved to instinctively go for that area, more often than not, because the ones that have were more successful. i find it surpising how many people think it's random. it shouldnt be too hard to do a test on this (and trying different species)... Christian do you know if some species do this more than others? [/QUOTE]
