Absolutely. Nature has created methods to maintain a balanced population. In many cases this includes predators taking down weak animals in a herd or helping select for the "strongest" individuals as well as maintaining a stable population. And, prey has adapted methods to prevent being wiped out including methods for generating large numbers such as fish who might lay thousands of eggs a year, or preventing attack like a porcupine that has evolved a natural defense mechanisms. Some animals had very few predators other than man. Many have evolved to have slow reproduction. These animals often have been devastated by modern hunting methods.

What is the connection of prey predator?

The connection between prey and predator is that predators are organisms that eat other organisms, and prey are the organisms that are eaten. For example, lion's are predators and zebra are an example of their prey. This can also refer to plants: rabbits are the predators and lettuce is the prey. Without prey, the predators would have nothing to eat. Without predators, the preyy population would increase to the point of overpopulation.
