Some animals, when cornered, play dead in the hopes that the predator would leave it alone thinking that there is no use in eating a lifeless carcass.
When you think about it, there are certain things with this behavior that seem illogical and rely purely on the hope that the predator would not be interested in dead prey. But the fact is not all predators are concerned with that. So why do certain animals feign death?
