For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters. Previous research has shown that wading bird nesting colonies could provide substantial food for alligators in the form of dropped chicks.
