Many carnivorous predators will maim (not kill) their primary prey in an effort to teach their young the rewards of hunting for themselves. This tends to 'evolve' the skills of the young. Grizzlies are well known to toss a wounded salmon to their young, and mountain lions will tear off a leg from a rabbit and throw it their young. Examples abound.

When was the theory of evolution formulated?
The theory of evolution was formulated by Charles Darwin in the mid-19th century, with his seminal work "On the Origin of Species" published in 1859. Darwin proposed the concept of natural selection as the mechanism driving the process of evolution.
Why should evolution not be taught in schools?
Evolution should be taught in schools because it is a well-established scientific theory supported by a vast amount of evidence. Understanding evolution is essential for students to grasp the principles of biology and to critically evaluate scientific knowledge. Teaching evolution does not imply denying or negating any individual's beliefs or religious views.
What are the three theories of evolution?
In the scientific sense of the word 'theory' (ie. testable explanatory model), there is just the one theory of evolution: evolutionary theory, which incorporates the central theses of common descent and natural selection.
Why did some states ban the teaching of evolution?
Some states banned the teaching of evolution due to religious reasons, as it contradicted creationist beliefs. They believed that teaching evolution went against their religious views and wanted to prioritize alternative explanations such as creationism or intelligent design in the classroom.
What are benefits of studying evolution?
" Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. " Quoted from a great man who was instrumental in the new synthesis ( the Neo-darwinian synthesis--where I take my user name from ) by his contributions to the understanding of genetics and how it applied to natural selection. Google the above quote to find out who said this. Without an understanding of evolution and the theory that explains much of evolution you might as well not study biology. That is the benefit of studying evolution.
What are the black panther's predators?
the reason why panthers are predators is because through genetic evolution their genes and molacules have not changed from b.c.
Why rabbits have long legs and good eyesight?
Evolution and adaption to survive. (legs to run, eyesight to spot predators)
What is mimicry in terms of evolution?
It is when one species copies the behavior or appearance of another, un-related species, to fool predators.
How does predation helps in the evolution of organisms?
Predation causes traits that enable prey to evade predators to be favoured in the population gene pool.
What is the evolution of animals?
The evolution of a species is when it changes itself slightly over thousands of years, to adapt to new surroundings. These new surroundings could have different weather, or predators that the species must be able to conceal itself from.
An example for evolution?
My favourite example of evolution is the development of multicellular organisms (this has also been observed). A kind of eukaryotic cell once started to bind to its fellow cells in order to make it more difficult for predators to kill them. This is an example of evolution as a result of predation, a selective agent.
Which of the five factors that can lead to evolution would operate on a change in body color that enabled animals to better hide from predators?
natural selection :")
The evolution of predators to be more cunning and prey to be faster runners is an example of?
you must got merhzad as yo teacher for biology . i dnt knoe the answer neither .
What is the job of your eye?
The job of the eye is to provide vision. Evolution-wise, having camera eyes helped our species survive its environment and predators better.
Why do tapirs have stripes when they are young?
They are that colour because they absorb the complimentary colours of light. They have developed it through evolution to blend them in to their surroundings to make it harder for predators to see them.
What is it called when the evolution of two or more species that is due to Mutual influence often in a way that makes this relationship more Mutual beneficial?
The phenomenon you're describing is known as "co-evolution." In co-evolution, species reciprocally affect each other's evolution, often leading to adaptations that enhance their mutual benefits. This process can occur between various types of organisms, such as predators and prey, or pollinators and plants.
Why has the evolution of predators and their prey been called a co-evolution arms race?
Because when, say prey, develop faster running ability this causes selection for faster running ability in the predator. If prey develop better camouflage then predators are selected on the basis of better eyesight and then prey turns around and is selected on the basis of better camouflage, or some other adaption that insures survival and reproductive success of individual prey. An arms race that is constrained by what is physically possible and what evolution can tinker p on what is already there.
