Predator or Prey Game

Woodcock U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Look carefully at the picture. Can you see the bird hidden in the shrubbery? All animals must eat to survive. With predators always on the lookout for a meal, prey must constantly avoid being eaten.

The predator-prey relationship is important in maintaining balance among different animal species. Adaptations that are beneficial to prey, such as chemical and physical defenses, ensure that the species will survive. At the same time, predators must undergo certain adaptive changes to make finding and capturing prey less difficult. In the Predator or Prey Game you must choose the correct predator-prey relationship.
