Aerial pursuit in nature is a complex task that involves interaction with targets in motion. Todate, many researchers have analyzed aerial predation strategies used by different flying species for the pursuit and interception of targets such as a prey or a conspecific. In this article, we provide a brief review of these different predation strategies with the focus primarily on insects and bats that rely on different sensory variables (vision and sonar) for navigation. The Knowledge gained from studying these strategies can guide the development of bio-inspired approaches for navigation of engineered systems.
