Perhaps the oldest weapons used by animals are projectiles, the evolution of their own versions of poison-tipped spears, missiles and bullets from high powered chemicals. The creatures that appear in this episode demonstrates the nature of resources and inspiration to survive in the animal world.

In the natural world there are knives, cutters, knives, sticks and rods of a galaxy of animal equipped with an arsenal of weapons to win a meal.  To get close enough, many use stealth, speed and surprise.
