prey definition and meaning

What is "prey"?

Prey refers to a group of animals that are hunted and killed by other animals for food. They are usually smaller or weaker than the predator and have developed adaptations such as camouflage, speed, or protective coverings to avoid being detected or caught. The term is commonly used in the context of animal behavior and ecology, where it refers to the relationship between predators and their food sources. Prey animals can include a wide range of species, from insects and small mammals to large herbivores like deer or antelopes. The ability to hunt and catch prey is essential for the survival of many predator species, and the interactions between predators and prey can have a profound impact on the ecology and biodiversity of an ecosystem.
