- Animals compete with each other for water, food, space, mates and breeding sites.
- An animals territory will large enough to find water, food and have some space for breeding.
- Predators compete with their prey, as they want to eat them.
- Predators and prey may be camouflaged, so that they are less easy to see.
- Prey animals compete with each other to escape from predators and to find food for themselves.
- Some animals e.g caterpillars, may be poisonous and have warning colours so that they may not be eaten.
The most successful animals, the ones that survive, pass on their genes - natural selection.
There are many ways animals are adapted:
- Colour - attrack females or as camouflage.
- Speed - to catch food or escape from pedators.
