Rarely the winner in a nature documentary (4)

I believe the answer is:

prey

(Other definitions for prey that I've seen before include "Animal hunted and killed for food" , "Hunter's quarry" , "Quarry, target" , "Animal hunted by another for food" , "Hunted creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
