Think of rabbits and foxes. The faster the rabbit runs the more selection of faster foxes is happening and selection of faster rabbits is also going on at the same time. So, predator and prey drive the evolution of each other.

Explain why predator-prey coevolution can be describe as an arms race?
predator-prey coevolution can be described as an arms race because first of all, for those that dont know, an arms race is a competition of where the two parties compete with producing larger, greater, or better things such as weapons but in this case it would be producing in numbers of animals. when predators and preys coevolve and such its a competition but then again there is equilibrium so it would all even out from food chains and such.
What is meant by 'predator-prey cycle'?
When the predator eats its prey, the prey population will go down because they're being eaten. Now there's is not enough prey because it has been eaten, there's nothing for the predator to eat. So, some die from startvation. Then the prey population increases because they are not being eaten, since the predators died of starvation. - Alexis (future vet!)
