I’m curious, how much do we know about a predators biology?

They become able to change their gender based on “heat cycles” and they have a f****** rage gland… It’s really badly written, similar setting and general story beats as Predators (2010). I generally go by the novels Alien versus Predator, Hunter’s planet, and War but they have the same general writing team so there is a consistency expected

Basically nothing,
they eat meat, can live for a long time, they have a weird red heath vision, they have bio luminescent blood and their vocal system can reproduce some human language.
Some clans also use DNA modification, and their species can differ between classic and “Super” (even if it’s not known if they are just DNA modified classics or another race).
Besides this, there is the expanded universe (comics, books etc) that gives more infos, but that’s a lot a weird stuff, and usually even contradict itself, so better only to observe the movies.
Oh also,
the Predalien is able to impregnate eggs into female hosts,
and since only the Predalien can do this (and no, the Predalien in the movie it’s probably not a young queen or a Pretorian), and since xenomorph tends to assimilate useful genetic traits from the host, it fair to suppose that the impregnation ability is something derived directly from the Predator side of the creature,
so maybe that’s how yautja reproduce (avoiding the “chestbuster explosion” obviously)

Oh, okay.
Interesting and I always thought that the supers just evolved differently than the originals. (Maybe feral evolved differently than the originals too)
Nolan says in the movie that they change themselves whenever one of them dies.

I thought that was just with their tactics.
Almost all marine life is hermaphrodite, able to change their sex whenever necessary for reproduction. This is because the ocean is extremely big and same species encounters can become rare, so, this aids in the reproduction and thus, preservation, of the species.
Humans on the other hand are among the most unfertile species in the whole animal kingdom

Now this is a post for me!
Lore wise, we know very little about the Yautja biology. However given several context clues from the movies, their characteristics, and designs, we can speculate a great deal of their biology.
As someone who has studied biology and microbiology for years, I take a great deal of enjoyment in xenobiological speculation!

Why
We’ll I’m happy your happy but I’m curious about the biology because of how the predators we’ve seen look different also specialize in different things.
