Co-evolutionary arm's race
- evolutionary battle leading to co-evolution

predation success and prey evolve mechanisms to
increase survival
, Pursuit, stealth, aggressive mimicry, traps, search
Predator Strategies
image
tracking behavior: predator chases prey
Pursuit interception behavior: predator aims to place itself in
front of prey (to intercept it)
