Adapted to and countered the Future Predator's attempts to blindside and target its vital points despite the latter's sonar enabling it to pinpoint its prey's weakpoints, such as the heart and the jugular, and even predict their movements and actions in order to stay out of their line of sight and set up ambushes. Defeated the Future Predator while it was knocked down by restraining and crushing the latter under its own weight)
Weaknesses: Typical animal weaknesses.
