False. Exclusively preying on a single species (specialization) can increase efficiency in stable conditions, but it makes the predator highly vulnerable to prey population fluctuations, disease, habitat change, or extinction. Generalist or flexible feeding strategies usually reduce that risk and are often more advantageous overall.
