Lithium chloride injections administered to rats after the feeding upon mice prey suppressed subsequent feeding, but not mouse killing.

Differential recovery of killing and feeding was observed after the treatments were discontinued. It is concluded that predatory aggression consists of two separable behaviors: killing and feeding.
