Detailed explanation-1: -Living in groups provides animals with many benefits. A large group of animals is less likely to be bothered by predators, there are more females to care for and protect the young, and more members to look for food sources. Working together provides them with more opportunities for survival than living alone does.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mechanical defenses, such as the presence of thorns on plants or the hard shell on turtles, discourage animal predation and herbivory by causing physical pain to the predator or by physically preventing the predator from being able to eat the prey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Camouflage, highly developed senses, warning signals, and different defensive weapons and behaviours are all used by prey animals for survival. Camouflage is an adaptation in which a species evolves to resemble its background.
Detailed explanation-4: -Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey. A species’ camouflage depends on several factors. The physical characteristics of the organism are important.
