No animal uses "infrared" to catch prey. Infrared is a man-made mechanical device to locate objects in darkness - that's a simplistic explanation, the actual process is more complicated. Some reptiles have sensory organs in their heads that can perceive nearby warmblooded animals, but that's not infrared.
