Detailed explanation-1: -A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Predator Adaptations Their mechanical adaptations such as sharp teeth, claws, thick skin and faster speed and superior strength help them to take over the prey. The chemical adaptations include venom, toxins and poison to kill the prey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Explanation: Frogs and other amphibians are prey for many other animals-birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and even other amphibians rely upon these animals as a food source. Amphibians’ ability to live both in water and on land greatly increases the range of predators that depend on them for food.
Detailed explanation-4: -Too many predators and not enough prey leads to predators starving and dying because they can’t find enough food. Too many prey and not enough predators leads to the spread of disease and depletion of resources for the prey species and others that live in their habitat.
