Revision as of 21:36, 2 October 2005 by Dr Fil (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Feeding frenzy is a ecological term used to describe a situation where oversaturation of a supply of food leads to rapid feeding by predatory animals.
"Feeding frenzy" is also a figure of speech often used in a non-biological sense to describe excited involvement by a group over some focal point of attention. An example would be intense and sometimes excessive media coverage of a story of great interest to the public, like the O. J. Simpson trial. Another example would be shoppers frantically looking for bargains during a sale.
