RE: How animals that are living in groups reduce the predation chance for each individual

in #ecology8 years ago

The term safety in numbers has two meanings. First, large numbers can overwhelm a predator to not even try. Second however, is less desirable. It simply means that your chances of getting eaten is less likely. But some unfortunate soul does get eaten. I've always said; If not for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. I'd been the one eaten. That why I don't do luck. I rely on my savior Jesus.

Thanks for your comment with additional info to the post :) I completely forgot to add that large groups can scare the predator from even attempting to attack the group, so thanks for adding this info!
