A predator tends to be larger than its prey, and to have a slower population growth rate.
The predator doesn't have to be bigger, but it must be adadpted to kill its larger prey
- larger than its prey, slower population growth than its prey, one predator individual consumes many prey individuals, immediately fatal to its host; an organism that feeds by preying on other organisms, killing them for food.
The prey is always smaller than the predator that's why it takes more prey to feed a predator.
There always has to be more prey than predator. If there is less prey, it will get eaten by the predator and then the predator will starve. If there are not enough predators, the prey may overpopulize.
both, they eat creatures smaller than themself, and larger animals prey on them.
The prey population is typically larger than the predator population to ensure the survival of the species. A larger prey population helps to support the predator population by providing a consistent food source. Additionally, predators have natural controls such as competition, disease, and limited resources that help regulate their populations.
It takes more than one prey to feed one predator because predators have a higher metabolic rate and energy requirements than their prey. Additionally, not all parts of the prey may be digestible or provide enough nutrients for the predator, necessitating the need for multiple individuals to meet the predator's energy needs.
A predator has the advantage than prey. A predator hunts/kills animals for food while the prey is the one being hunted. It shows the relationship called PREDATION.
The energy that is pass on to the predator when the predator eats the prey is only 10% of it's energy as the prey's other energy is used up for itself thus the predator must eat more of it's prey to get the amount of energy it needed.
A German Shepherd can be both Predator and Prey. They are mostly predator because they are police dogs and because they are police dogs they sniff things out so if they were to be sniffing out a killer animal they would be considered a Predator. But they may also be good prey for certain attacking animals that are carnivores that kill animals that are fairly larger than they are. But if you want to be technical they are a Extremely Good Predator.
A heron is primarily a predator. These wading birds hunt for fish, amphibians, and small mammals, using their long necks and sharp beaks to catch their prey. While they have some natural predators, such as larger birds of prey and mammals, they are generally known for their hunting abilities rather than being prey themselves.
A predator is one who hunts. Usually referring to an animal. A prey is one who is hunted. Usually a smaller animal than the predator. Examples of predators and their prey: Hawks and mice, lions and gazelles, Dick Cheney and the Bill of Rights.
