Parasites and predators are alike in the fact that they both depend on another living thing to survive. A predator kills its prey for nourishment while parasites drain their host slowly.

How are parasites and predators alike?

Parasites and predators are both organisms that consume other organisms for survival.

Both parasites and predators play important roles in regulating populations in ecosystems.


Why does a predator kill its prey but a parasite rarely kill its host?

Usually, parasites are much smaller than the host is, whereas predators could be either small or larger than the prey. Parasites have a very high reproduction rate but the predators reproduce slowly.
