They depend on other living organisms to live.
I would be more willing to say that leeches are parasites, not predators.
Usually, parasites are much smaller than the host is, whereas predators could be either small or larger than the prey. Parasites have a very high reproduction rate but the predators reproduce slowly.
No. A predator kills it's source of food, while a parasite keeps it's host alive because if the host dies it needs to find another food source. A predator kills, a parasite doesn't (at least it doesn't mean to).
Barracudas are carnivorous predators and are typically opportunistic feeders. They feed on a variety of prey including fish, squid, shrimp, and crustaceans. Some of their common predators include sharks, dolphins, and larger fish species.
Yes, fire ants have several natural enemies including certain insect predators, birds, and parasitic flies. These predators and parasites help regulate fire ant populations in their native habitats.
Parasites and predators are alike in the fact that they both depend on another living thing to survive. A predator kills its prey for nourishment while parasites drain their host slowly.
Scavengars and predators are alike because they both have to be animals. the differences are scavengars search for and predators kill their food
Clams are filter feeders. They are not parasites, scavengers, predators, or foragers.yes a clam is a scavenger
Parasites feed off their hosts. Predators feed off their prey. Difference is that parasites want to keep their hosts alive so they can continue to feed off them.
humans,predators and parasites.
Predation is different from parasitism in that predators kill their prey before consumption. Parasites must keep their hosts alive in order to continually feed off of them.
A ptarmigan does not have any predators

Kingdom Animalia is exclusively heterotrophic and includes many predators and parasites. Animals in this kingdom obtain their nutrients by consuming other organisms. Predators hunt and consume other organisms for food, while parasites live off other organisms, often causing harm in the process.
Both are consumers and animals .
