In a rock pool, common predators include starfish, which feed on mollusks and small invertebrates, and crabs that hunt for smaller creatures like shrimp and snails. Sea anemones also act as predators, capturing prey with their tentacles. Additionally, some fish, like blennies and gobies, can be found in these environments, preying on smaller organisms. These predators play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance within the rock pool ecosystem.
A rock pool can be home to many animals
This question from your assignment wants you to think -- and to do some research on rock pool animals. We don't know which other animals you've had on the assignment, so we can't name "more" of them. You'll have to use your search engine - just type in "rock pool animals" and hit enter.
The Rock Pool was created in 1936.

Animals that get hunted by predators are called prey. Prey animals are pursued and captured for food by predators in the wild.
Firstly, it is hard for animals to have access to sufficient food sources on rock platforms. Also, being in an exposed position makes them more vulnerable to predators such as eagles and hawks. there is no shelter on rock platforms. Some animals do prefer rocky outcrops (such as the rock wallabies of Australia), but these are outcrops and hillsides, not single platforms.
Yes. The dingo and foxes are the main predators of the wallaby. Feral cats can pose a threat to younger animals as well. Wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey are also major predators of various rock-wallaby species, as these types of wallabies are more likely to be out on exposed rock faces.

No. Llamas are prey animals, not predators.
