Predator prey systems - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Animal camouflage plays a crucial role in survival by allowing prey to blend in with their habitats to avoid predators, and enabling predators to effectively hunt for food. This natural adaptation enhances the chances of both prey and predators in the wild.
