Is there any animal without a predator?
Most regions of the world have an "apex predator", a predator species with no predator of its own (excluding parasites and bacteria). A few regions have more than one apex predator, each one too difficult to kill to be a regular source of food for any other predator. Such apex predators include: * humans * grizzly bears * saltwater crocodiles * the cats that can roar: tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard * the other big cats: the cougar, cheetah, snow leopard, and clouded leopard. * wolves * the orca ("killer whale") * on some islands, domestic dogs and cats are an apex predator
What is a characteristic shared by both predators and parasites?
Parasites and predators both exploit other animals, however a predator will immediately kill and eat its prey and a parasite will use a living host to survive, even if it does later kill its host.
