Prey Vs Predator – Kick Start

For this task I learnt about animals that either prey on lions or be preyed on by lions , sometimes each of them both do. First we got a list of seven animals, with these animals we researched whether these animals were the prey, predator, or  both.

A prey is the animal that gets hunted to survive, but on the other side who hunts the prey they are called the predator. Two facts I learnt about both of these types of animals is that, a prey has evolved defense far better than a predators and have sharper senses like sight, hearing, and smell. Two facts about predators is that predators can keep prey populations from growing too large, and they use many methods to hunt including stealthy stalking, or ambushing.

I found this task fun because I got to learn about predators and their skills and the same with preys.

Project Tiger – Kick Start

I chose to find information about the physical charsteristics, dietary and the current population status. To finish the task I added photos.

During this attempt the squatter ( the owner of the land ) had rode through the lands on his thorough bred horse and had caught the unlucky swagman.
