Lobsters are also know to eat each other in the wild. It’s commonly believed that the rise in sea temperature has produced more lobsters.

Polar bears are these types of cannibals who eat other polar bears alive; they don’t wait for the prey to be dead. Cannibalism is mostly found in polar bears, as bigger ones find a good snack in the younger ones. A major excuse of the cannibalism in polar bears is the climate change as ice flows and melts in a different proportion so this tends to a scarcity of food which leads to eating each other.

 

7. Snails
