there isnt one exept one is the predator and one is prey
Predator is the animal that hunts and feeds on another animal.
Prey is an animal that is being hunted and eaten by a predator.
Example .The fox is the predator that feeds on rabbits (prey).

A predator-prey relationship tends to keep the populations of both species in balance. As the prey population increases, so, after a slight lag, the predator population increases as well. As the number of predators increases, more prey are captured.
Yes, Animals like to stay in relationship.
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.
Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection differed from artificial selection in that rather then a conscious agent making the selection of what will be, as in all forms of animal and plant domestication, the selecting agent is the environment itself. Now environment might be thought of as context, and just as a word finds meaning in a given context, example a paragraph, so the forms of organisms are determined by fitting properly their context or environment. All other organisms also form part of that context or environment of a given organism, more directly when there is a predator prey relationship between organisms. This predator prey relationship itself plays a selecting role, as predators tend to weed out the weak or injured in a population of prey organisms. Remember these predators are part of the organisms environmental context.
because it determines whether a species will evolve to keep up with its predator or prey
predator hunts and eats prey.
a predator eats a prey.
The cat is the predator and the mouse is the prey.
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.
