Adaptations of Predators Spiders Sticky Web Wolf’s teeth- made for cutting flesh The speed of a cheetah
Natural selection favors the evolution of predator adaptations for finding, capturing, and consuming prey.

This angler fish lives so deep down in the ocean that no light can penetrate the depths.
To attract prey it has adapted the structure above its mouth to glow and wiggle like a worm.
When prey get close enough the sharp, needlelike teeth are adapted grasp and kill the prey

Adaptations of Animal Prey Skunks spray a
pungent odor. Porcupines have
defensive quills.

Adaptations of Animal Prey Deceptive Markings- one species closely
resembles another species.

Adaptations of Animal Prey Camouflage- imitate objects to blend in
with its environment

Adaptation of Plant Prey Physical Defenses Thorns, spines, sticky hairs, tough
leaves

Adaptation of Plant Prey Chemical Defense- Poisons or bad
tasting Ex: Poison Ivy

Symbiosis… Close, long-term relationship between
two organisms. 3 examples include: Parasitism Mutualism Commensalism

Parasitism… Similar to predation in that one organisms
called a host, is harmed and the other organism, called the parasite, benefits.
Parasite feeds on the host for a long time. Parasitism usually doesn’t result in
immediate death of the host. Ex: Endoparasites- heartworms, tapeworms Ex: Ectoparasites- Lice, leeches, fleas, ticks

Mutualism… Two species that derive some benefit
from each other. Ex: Pollination

Commensalism… Interaction in which one species benefits
and other is not affected. Ex: Species that scavenge for leftover
food Ex: Cattle Egrets, Sucker Fish
