anti-predator strategies

Anti-predator strategies are adaptations animals use to avoid being eaten. These include physical defenses like sharp claws, camouflage to blend into surroundings, and armor or tough skin. Behavioral tactics such as staying hidden, being more active at times when predators are less so, or traveling in groups to watch out for danger are also common. Some animals emit loud sounds or release foul-smelling chemicals to deter predators. Overall, these strategies improve their chances of survival by either avoiding detection or discouraging predators from attacking.
