PREDATION
Predation is when two animals are share the relationship of 'predator and prey'. The predator is the animal that will hunt down and kill another animal for food. The prey is the animal that is killed. The Desert Coyote and the Pocket Mouse are an example of predation. The Desert Coyote needs food, so it will kill the mouse for food. The coyote is the predator and the mouse is the prey. The mouse has ways of fighting back, though. It's called adaptations. Adaptations are when a species evolves to stay alive. The Pocket Mouse has evolved to be faster, and more cunning. The coyote has evolved to be more silent and faster.
