, Types of Interactions:
Predation
Predation occurs when a member of one species, the predator, hunts, kills and
eats another organism.
beneficial for the predator, but harmful for the prey.
Predation Adaptations
Speed
Agility
Heightened sense of sight, smell, and hearing
Sharp teeth and claws to capture and grasp prey
Camouflage (The ability to resemble/blend with its environment).
Adaptation of Well-adapted prey
Mechanical defence, e.g. quills on a porcupine
Warning signals to deter predators, e.g. the smelly spray of a skunk, the venom
of a snake
Behavioural defence, e.g. hiding, herding, or pretending (appearing injured or
dead)
Camouflage
Warning colours showing other animals of poisonous or dangerous
characteristic.
Mimicry. Some harmless species may mimic the warning colours of
dangerous animals as a means of defence.
Predation in the wild
More likely animals that live in the wild
Predator-prey Graph
Predation helps regulate population size.
