Above is a picture of a Cutthroat trout. The Cutthroat trout
have a back up plan. When they feel that some one is
hunting them they sink down to deeper depths, so their
predators cannot catch them. This strategy might work
well, but if they stay down they cannot use fish or other
animals as a source to survive. So they must go back up
to the surface to feed. When they get there the Osprey are
waiting for them, and they are gone.
