strays

They wait motionless for surface vibrations, darting out only when prey strays within reach.

It is, in some ways, the most pernicious because it strays far afield from direct claims of military and political heroism to celebrate a scientist, a profession built around facts.

A tidal disruption event occurs when a star strays too close to a massive black hole and is pulled apart by its immense gravitational forces.

Animal lovers say they face hostility and sometimes even violence for taking care of strays, while people who believe dogs should be off the streets argue they can be aggressive and dangerous.
