I have to say that I have enjoyed the series but it might be time to move away from the questions about what did Charles Darwin invent ?
How do we know that evolution is a lie from Lucifer, the evil angel who disguises himself as an angel of light? If we are to believe the theory of Evolution death and evil are just normal processes. We have already seen how dangerous the theory of Social Darwinism is when it was applied by National Socialist and their fellow Atheists cousins, the scientific Communists.
We know that there is a problem of evil, just look around but if we are to believe the theory of Evolution everything is working for the good because in the end the fit, will survive and those who are killed are the weak and deserve to die.
Death was a result of sin and that God did not create death but gave Adam a choice. Fritz Springmeier deals with the problems of evil and logic problems it has caused. He analysis is more measured than reducing it to evil skull drawings and just plain denial.
It helps explain the dangers in Charles Darwin concept of naturalism.
You will notice that Lucifer does not want man to know that they are made in the image of God. If we were to believe evolution are ancestors are frogs, dogs and apes. There is a big difference between being made in the image of God and being made in the image of beasts.
On another day we will ask did Charles Darwin believe in God? Of course he did, even though it was probably not the Biblical God because Charles Darwin was a mystery man.
The theory of evolution doesn't imply anything is "good" or "evil", but never let that little fact stand in your way...

Tom, did you know that cats eat squirrels from the head down? A large squirrel is too big a meal for an average cat, though, so they often leave the hindquarters, or save them until later - a disconcerting sight, especially male squirrels.

Did you know that cats are one of the very few domestic creatures that would survive the worldwide extinction of humans? Cattle would be picked off by predators with newly found niches (coyotes taking the niche of wolves) and would be extinct within a year or 2. Dogs would start running in packs but would never be able to compete with native dogs live wolves and coyotes. Some bird species would survive in the right climate but cats are the only animals that retain most of their hunting instincts even through so many generations of domestication. The domestic cat is through to have evolved from a single cat species native to the middle east, I want to say that that species is actually extinct now.
On the subject matter thought I really wonder how animals can be "evil". Here is something else to ponder, are plants evil? What about plants that eat bugs and small rodents? They are killing, so does that make them evil?
Some plants fit the definition implied in the OP, for sure. Aside from the direct eaters of insects like Sundews and Pitcher Plants, you have the Indian Pipes and Coral Roots and others that parasitize other plants, you have the whole range of poisonous plants which besides avoiding being eaten may benefit from small dead things decomposing nearby. And wild raspberry canes are definitely evil - those things draw blood every time.
I'm in no doubt as to the survival skills of most cats. I have two at the moment; one I nurtured from six weeks old, is nice and cuddly - and goes out and kills mice and squirrels with passion and great skill. The other showed up as a sick skin and bones young feral, maybe three months old: took me a couple months to tame him enough to pick up, now he's a house feral. He lives in the house, but is terrified of all humans except me - he's extremely affectionate with me. He's unable to hunt, despite attempts by the other cat to 'teach' him. I watched Number One cat this summer first give Number Two dead prey, which he ate, then give him live prey, which Number Two never figured out what to do with. I can only guess he was separated from his mother far too early, and may have brain damage from too long a starvation period. He's also very clumsy and a very poor climber - a good thing, because he falls out of small trees regularly.

Interesting cat facts though.
Well since there are no wolves and the last time my pair got out and there were coyotes present the end result was no coyote sightings for 3 months I don't see the coyotes winning all that quickly.
Now mine would not persist since they are both neutered males, but there is one other dog in hte area with balls who could hold his own against at least 2 and more like 3 coyotes. Once he packed up he would survive.
I think you underestimate cattle or for that mattter sheep. They are far from defenseless. Come to think of it same for horses.
