Characteristics
|
Characteristics commonly associated
with carnivores include organs for capturing and disarticulating prey (teeth and claws serve these functions in many vertebrates) and status as a predator. |
According to the theory of predator–prey interactions,the relationship between herbivores and plants is
cyclic When prey (plants) are numerous their predators (herbivores) increase in numbers, reducing the prey population,which in turn causes predator number to decline. |
