How does a chicken hunt prey?
Chickens are very intellectual creatures. They often scope out their intended prey and create a map of possible hiding places. On the night of the heist, they will most likely fast to make sure they have room to eat. Once their prey is spotted they will send signals to each other. These signals are often scratching their hocks or saddle. When their prey reaches an isolated and secluded spot, the chicken will attack from behind bushes and trees carrying large machetes and handmade spears decorated from their own feathers they have sacrificed. They will then suck the blood from the necks of the prey with their serpent tongues and carry what is left of the body back to their base to be prepared at cooked. Then they are treated to a five course meal.
What happens to the predator population when the prey populations decreases?
It also decreases because the predator will have no food supply and starve or have to leave the area.
True or false if a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well-?
It is true to say that; If a prey population decreases, the population of its predator probably will decrease as well.
What relationship occurs between prey and another organism?
predator kills and eats prey for its survival. When the predator population increases, the prey population decreases because of too many hunters. When the prey population decreases, the predator population decreases because of the lack of food. Then, the prey population increases because there aren't that many predators and the process repeats itself.
What happens to predator population when the prey population is eliminated?
The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.
True or false If a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well?
True, if the number of prey decreases, the predators will have nothing left to eat and will slowly starve. In some cases the predators will become cannibalistic (eat its own species) to prevent it self from starving to death.So the answer is true, if a prey population decreases the population of its prey will decrease as well.
Symbiosis relationship of lion and zebra?
Lions and zebras have a predator prey relatiuonship. For example the lion is the predator obviously because it is the top of the food chain and the zebra is the prey because it get eaten. They aren't related in any other way.Actually there is, they live in the same habitat.
Is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake a predator or prey?
A rattlesnake may be a prey or predator. They eat small animals but are preyed upon by a number of creatures.
What are predator and prey relationships?
This is a much studied relationship that one might learn about in grade 10 science or Biology 11. Predators rely on the population of their prey for sustenance. An increase in predators could lead to a decrease in the population of the prey which in turn leads to a decrease in the predator population. As the predator population decreases the prey population can again increase and the cycle begins anew.
What happens when the cycling of matter in ecosystems is disrupted?
The predator eats the prey in the food chain. As the population is stable, the food chain won't wreck. There's an interdependence between the prey and the predator in the food chain. The prey should be there to feed some food to their predator, and the predator also needs to be there to control their prey population from exploding. Changes in animal population can wreck the food chain. If the prey population decreases, the predator population would also decrease as there'll be less food for them to eat. If the predator population decreases, the prey population would increase because less predators means less preys gets hunted down, so there'll be more preys. If the prey population increases, then the predator population would also increase because there'll be more food for them to eat and there should be more predators to take more control patrol of their prey population. If the predator population increases, then the prey population would decrease because more predators means more preys gets hunted down, so there'll be less preys. Animal Population Change Formula: Prey Decrease→Predator Decrease Predator Decrease→Prey Increase Prey Increase→Predator Increase Predator Increase→Prey Decrease
Is the sloth bear a predator or a prey species?
Sloth bears are prey to bengal tigers, but happens on occasion.
How does a change in the prey population effect the predator population?
A change in the prey population effects the predator population because if there are alot of preys, then the predators would eat the preys and the population of predators would increase. But on the other hand, if there are not enough preys, the predators would starve and die which would decrease the population of predators.
Relationship between a predator and prey?
A predator-prey relationship tends to keep the populations of both species in balance. As the prey population increases, so, after a slight lag, the predator population increases as well. As the number of predators increases, more prey are captured.
