Predation

Predation is a natural biological interaction where one organism, the predator, hunts, captures, and consumes another organism, the prey. This process helps control prey populations and can influence the evolution of both predator and prey species. Predators rely on their skills and adaptations, such as keen senses or speed, to catch their prey, while prey develop defenses like camouflage or agility to avoid being eaten. Predation is a key component of ecosystems, maintaining balance and supporting biodiversity. It is a fundamental natural process that drives the interactions and survival strategies of many species.
