solitary hunter
Solo stalking creature
A solitary hunter is an animal that hunts alone rather than in packs or groups.
Cats, leopards, and most spiders are solitary hunters, stalking and ambushing prey independently.
The term contrasts with cooperative hunters like wolves or lions.
It sometimes describes people who prefer working alone: He was a solitary hunter in the corporate world, never joining teams.
