The relationship between predators and prey in natural ecosystems is often described as a delicate balance that helps regulate the population of both species. Predators hunt and consume prey animals, which helps control the prey population and prevent overgrazing or overpopulation. At the same time, prey animals have evolved strategies such as camouflage, speed, or defensive mechanisms to avoid being captured by predators. This relationship is essential for maintaining biodiversity and the overall health of ecosystems.
