Prey animals often live in groups for several reasons, primarily for increased protection against predators. Group living enhances vigilance, as individuals can take turns watching for threats while others feed or rest. Additionally, there is safety in numbers; the presence of many individuals can confuse predators and reduce the likelihood of any single animal being targeted. Social structures within groups can also facilitate access to resources and improve survival rates for younger or weaker members.
