What is the different between prey or predator?

Answer 1

A predator (lion, tiger, cheetah...) is the animal that goes hunting for the prey (gazelle, deer, zebra...). When the prey is killed, the scavenger (hyena, vulture...) comes in to the scene and tries to steel the meal from the predator. In conclusion , the scavenger prefers to steal a freshly killed meal, than go hunting for his own. If he failed to steel the meal, he waits for the predator to eat, and comes in and eat the remains after the predator has left.

A predator feeds on other LIVING things, while the scavenger eats animals that are already dead.

Answer 2

The predator is the organism that feeds on the prey whereas the prey is the organism that is fed on by the predator. like the predator of a fish

for example is the bear. The prey for the bear is the fish... so the predator is the enemy of an other animal and the prey is an animals dinner :)

Answer 3

The difference between a predator and a parasite is that for a predator killing the prey is necessary for consuming it, but for parasites it is not even desirable because a parasite lives on or in its host.

Answer 4

prey is dN1/dt =r1N1

predator is dN2/dt= r2N2

a. Assume (for now) that predation is setting K1, so that in the absence of predation, the prey population grows geometrically

b. Assume (for now) that the predator population is totally dependent upon the prey population for its existence, so that in the absence of predation, the predator population declines geometrically 4. Put the predator and prey together

prey is dN1/dt =r1N1 - B1N1 N2

predator is dN2/dt= r2N2 +B2N1 N2

a. B1 and B2 are predation coefficients

Answer 5

Predators are the hunters and eaters, prey are those who get hunted and eaten.

Answer 6

There similar because they still eat there own prey there mammal they eat meat which predators do.

Answer 7

The former is a filter-feeder, while the latter is an active predator, but collectively, they are grouped as predators, because they consume live prey. However, a scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals. ... Anyway, the carrion a scavenger eats must be killed by another animal or other causes for it to be scavenging.
