Predatory animal
* Most predatory animals use combat strategies
* are also heterotrophic
  - carnivores
  - wild animals
* inspire a sense of awe, respect and fear among humans.
* is an animal
* play an important role in keeping wildlife populations balanced and healthy.
* require certain characteristics in order to be efficient killers.

Prehistoric animal

* Some prehistoric animals survive for years.
* provide information about things that lived in the past.

Prey
* are animals which are hunted by the predator
  - killed and eaten by predators
  - organisms which are eaten to produce energy
  - paralyzed by the toxin-bearing nematocysts located on the tentacles

* are generally more abundant in open forest
  - usually able to run with the heard after a short time
* can easily become defensive when feeling threatened.

* have eyes on the side of their heads so that they can see their hindquarters
* hide from predators.
* interact with their environment very differently than predators like cats and dogs.
* pin a life on the right shoulder.
* prefer a panorama view of the world.

  * Prey animals hide from predators. Predators must search for prey without being seen. Another way is for the animal to disguise itself as something harmless. Camouflage and mimicry'. Adaptive colouration in animals'.

### animal | prey:

Animal prey
* includes large insects, spiders, scorpions, snakes, mice and lizards.
* makes up for differing deficiencies in soil nutrients.

Bigger prey
* can keep the snake satiated for weeks or months.
* yields more energy for the predator but time to consume is also greater.

Common prey
* Most common prey are larvae of insects, particularly beetles.
* Some common prey includes raccoons.
* Some common prey is consumed by barbary macaques
* are earthworms, slugs, and small amphibians.

Invertebrate prey
* Most invertebrate prey includes earthworms.
* Some invertebrate prey includes crabs
  - small crabs

Large prey
* are dragged under water, drowned and then devoured in pieces.
* is usually paralyzed with the venom injected by the stinger before it is eaten.

Larger prey
* are less likely to be preyed upon, and larger predators are more likely to catch prey.
* is killed by suffocation or constriction before being swallowed.

Live prey
* Some live prey kills snakes.
* are killed by a bite to the neck.

Rodent prey
* Most rodent prey includes african giant rats
* Some rodent prey includes grind squirrels

Primitive animal
* Most primitive animals digest food.
* solve problems.
