Part 3/7:
The Prey—Ready for Battle
While the cheetah seeks out a meal, the evolutionary arms race ensures that many prey species come equipped with their own weapons of survival. Gazelles, in particular, travel in herds for safety. This strategy creates confusion during a predator’s ambush, diluting the risk to any one individual. Elephants, zebras, and other herbivores follow suit, forming protective formations to ward off attacks from predators like lions and hyenas.
Lions, for their part, are unique in the feline world, hunting in packs—forming a formidable team in their quest for survival. The dynamic interplay between these predators and their prey creates high-stakes drama on the savannah with fierce outcomes.
