Abstract
Predation occurs throughout nature. Predators feed in order to survive long enough to reproduce. Likewise, prey animals attempt to avoid being eaten long enough to reproduce. Avoidance of predation is much more important to the prey because a failed attempt at predation only necessitates that the predator searches elsewhere for a meal.
