They have great environmental adaptations to win the battles against predators by their hiding, escaping, and fighting skills sometimes even with the chemical weapons. These species have high populations as compared to predator species, but are lower than the producers. Prey stores energy which is essential food sources of predators. In the food chain, prey species are closer to the producers than predators. Some of the most common examples are, cow, buffalo, deer, rabbit, zebra, etc. Also, they have sharp jaws and sharp eyesight and hearing capacity from which they can see and hear the predators. These have high speed and running capability, which helps them to be away from the predators. Like that of predators, even these have some extra features which helps them to get rid from their enemy (predators). There are generally the herbivorous animals which feed on plats and other small insects for their lives. Some of the most prominent carnivores are lions, tigers, crocodiles, sharks, eagles, alligators and snakes.Ī Prey is an animal which is being hunted or eaten by other animals. They play main role in the ecosystem, as they maintain the prey population and improve the bio diversity by preventing a single species from being dominant. Predators receive the least amount of energy as they are at the top of food chains. They have sharp features like teeth, jaws and extra-ordinary strength and strong body which all help them to fight against their prey and catch it. Predators have features like good digestive systems, as these can eat the raw flesh and can digest them. They are extra vigorous and vicious among all, mostly said to be the dangerous of all animals. These are animals with sharp speed and capacity they are known for their hunting skills and are merciless in nature. These are generally carnivorous type of animals who hunt other herbivorous animals for food. a prey tries to escape from the predator by evolving speed, camouflage, good sense of smell, sight, or hearing, thorns, poison, etc.Ī Predator is an animal which feeds on other animal for food.

Like that of predator, even the preys are a part of predator’s environment i.e. from which it get hold of the prey and feed on it. Hence, predators are said to have speed, stealth, camouflage, a good sense of smell, sight or hearing, immunity to the prey's poison, the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc. a predator evolves whatever is necessary it can do in order to get the prey. the prey is part of the predator's environment, and the predator dies if it does not get its prey as the predator is fully dependent on prey for its basic living.īoth evolve together, i.e. Predator and prey are inter-related to each other i.e. In the ecology, these are co-related to each-other. Predators are the ones who hunt other animals while preys are the ones who are hunted or attacked by other animals. Predator and Prey basically refers to the hunting and attacking of an animal. Both, of these animals are necessary for maintaining the ecological balance of the Earth. A predator is an animal who hunts other animals while, a prey is that animal that is hunted by other animal.
