jungle predator

Rainforest apex carnivore

A jungle predator is an animal that hunts and kills other animals in tropical forest environments—tigers, jaguars, pythons, and the like.

The phrase extends figuratively to aggressive competitors in business or other domains, suggesting someone who operates ruthlessly in a complex, competitive environment: He's a jungle predator in the boardroom.
