They are ambush killers. They lie down and wait then rush forward to grab their prey. To kill their prey they take it to the water to drown and dismember it. Sometimes they get fruit from trees too!

They dip their' noses into the bowl, pick the food up with their mouth, and takes the food out of their' mouth with a paw, and then they eat it like we eat a chocolate bar!! Cute, or what?! :-)
