How can prey avoid predators?

Answer 1

There are MANY antipredation strategies used by primates; here is a partial list:

Some primates are nocturnal, which makes them less subject to predation.

Some primates have small body size and can easily hide from predators.

Some primates avoid predation by using selfish herd strategies--by hanging out with lots of conspecifics, they reduce the likelihood that they'll be the individual captured if predation.

Some primates in large groups will also depend on their group mates to alarm call when they see a predator--many primates have specific calls associated with different types of predators and will respond in ways that reduce their risk of capture when they hear them.

Some primates will mob a predator to prevent it from sucessfully attacking--that is, they'll cooperatively fight against a potential predator's intrusion.

Answer 2

The way in which primates defend themselves can depend on the type of primate. While a small monkey may run away or go up a tree to get away from a predator, a bigger primate like a chimpanzee can use its strength, hands, and teeth to defend himself. A gorilla can use its size to protect itself from predators. Likewise, a dominant gorilla male of a group will charge and show its teeth to ward off predators.

Answer 3

You mean predators. One animal that eats another is called a predator. The one being eaten is prey.

There are a variety of methods animals use al varrying from animal to animal. Some have devolped hard shells that are hard to break liek a turtle. Others detach body parts or organs to distract the predator and allow them to run away as they regrow them later, such as a sea cucumber or a lizard. Others are incredibly fast. Others use camaflouge to blend into their backgrounds and avoid detection like some moths and chameleons. Some spew things at attackers like posion or such, like some frogs

Answer 4

Here are some adaptations that help animals avoid being caught as prey:

1. live in groups
2. built for speed
3. defences such as poison or stings
4. camouflage to avoid being seen by predators
5. eyes to the side of the head to get a wide field of view
