Then the smaller one must change its habits. Example: Leopards. Leopards share habitat with lions in Africa and tigers in Asia. Leopards feed on many of the same animals, with the exception of adults of the larger herbivores, such as buffalo and gaur. Leopards may hunt during different times of day, and will cache their prey in trees to keep it away from their larger cousins.

Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
What human activities might interfere with an owls niche?
-introducing new birds that compete with owls for prey -Clearcutting forests
Do invasive species benefit or harm the local ecosystem?
sometimes introduced species are not invasive and they can benefit us in various ways 1. Making the Eco-system proper ex. there aree some poisonous plants, so the species may be its predator. 2. It might become a prey of a endangered species write back if you want more
Why do prey species often live in groups?
Prey species often live in groups because it increases their chances of detecting predators and escaping from them. Living in groups allows prey species to have more eyes and ears to notice potential threats, to coordinate their defense and escape strategies, and to dilute the risk of being targeted individually. Group living can also help in sharing information about food resources and finding mates.
What would not reduce the carrying capacity of an ecosystem for a particular prey species?
Fewer Predators
When the members of species compete what do they compete for?
Usually animals of the same species compete for mates { two males usually compete over one female.} Animals could compete over prey or vegetation too.
What animals in the rainforest are prey?
Different species of ape compete for fruit, bark and other food as well as territory. Birds compete for seeds, berries and insects.
Explain competition and predation as ways in which organisms interact.?
Competition is when Organisms of the same or different species compete for resources, it negatively affects both organisms. Predation is the relationship between two species as the predator feeds on the prey while the prey adapts.
When members of a species compete what do they compete for?
they compete so they can suvive and reproduce
Do raptors compete for habitat and other resources?
Of course they do. The compete with other raptors, generally of the same species, for those habitats and resources. Not to mention all other ground based predators interested in the same prey species.
Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
What are the effects of hunting animals too much?
Depends on the animal that is being over hunted. If it's a predator, then the number of its natural prey will increase. Might even cause numbers of other natural predators of that prey to increase, which could cause numbers of other species that they prey on to decrease, and so on. If it's prey, then the number of its natural predatores will decrease and might become endangered themselves. The over population of prey will compete with other species of animals that feed on the same food. These most probably will disrupt balance between animals that rely on the same rescources to survive.

What is difference between competition and predation?
Competition: Introduced invasive species compete against native species for essential resources such as food and habitat.Predation: Introduced predators can have more impact on prey population than native predators, as prey may not have adaptions to escape or fight them.

food
What is hyena enemies?
Mainly lions. The two species compete for many of the same prey species, and the bigger lion will kill hyenas. Hyenas retaliate by mobbing lions with overwhelming numbers, and driving the cats away. Leopards also compete with hyenas, but this solo hunter usually will drag it's prey up a tree, out of reach of hyenas. A solitary hyena would have no chance against a determined leopard, but hyenas usually travel in groups, and will steal the leopard's prey if it is too large to lift into the trees.
