For example, a spider eating a fly caught at its web is a predator, or a pack of lions eating a buffalo. A predator attacks and eats its prey. Predators may or may not kill their prey before eating them. Predators are usually carnivores (meat-eaters) or omnivores (eat plants and other animals). Predators will hunt other animals for food, for examples of predators are lions, tigers, crocodiles, snakes, wolves, and sharks. Predators are generally larger than their prey and more powerful; many have claws and paws to hold onto their prey. They usually have large canine teeth to pierce through skin and kill prey. A prey is an animal hunted and killed for food by another animal. Many prey animals live in large groups that give them more pairs of eyes to look out for danger. Many prey animals have a means of protection. This may be a hard shell or spine. They may be poisonous. Some of the bigger prey animals have horns for protection. Other clever prey animals like the skunk have a foul smell to squirt at the enemy.
