The predator must be adapted to catch its prey. If they need to catch a fast animal, they have to fast as well (example cheetah>gazelle) and if your prey is big and strong, you must be too, or get help from other members of your species (example lion>buffalo). There are other methods a predator can use, like ambush, scavenging, and parasitic behaviour.

How do predators and prey affect each other?

Predators and prey have a dynamic relationship where they influence each other's populations. Predators regulate prey populations by consuming them, which can prevent overpopulation and resource depletion. Conversely, prey populations influence predator populations by providing food sources that sustain them. This interaction helps maintain balance in ecosystems.


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.

What role do predators play in maintaining the balance of an ecosystem?

Henfrayyy:57 minutes agoIf natural selections deselects the prey with qualities that can make it a worthy adversary to the predator, the predator's chief source of food will diminish and with it the predator. In consequence, the surviving prey will increase in population. The net effect is that the predator-prey balance will be upset.

In natural ecosystems the presence of predators lessens the effects of what among the prey?

The presence of predators in natural ecosystems lessens the effects of overpopulation among the prey species. Predators help regulate prey populations by controlling their numbers through predation, which in turn prevents the prey from depleting natural resources and disrupting ecosystem balance.
