Who's Eating Who?

So I recently outed myself on BGG as someone who doesn't like negotiation games (http://boardgamegeek.com/article/15756181#15756181) and, of course, after mulling this topic over for some time I thought of a game concept in which negaotiation might appeal more to me. I generally think of negotiation games being about a power struggle but what if it was instead about survival? The example I'm thinking of is a game where the players are a group of predator animals that are stalking a herd of prey animals which is made up of different species. In order to try an ensure that your family has enough to eat you negotiate which animals will be taken down and how the meat will be divided up when two or more predators work together to take down an big animal. When a chase is made energy is expended and damage can be incurred by the more dangerous prey animals. Also random events like newborn cubs can further shift the dynamic around.
