Prey animals refer to any animal that is hunted and eaten by another species. These animals are typically fast, agile or have other adaptations that help them avoid predation. Examples of prey animals include deer, rabbits, squirrels, birds, fish, etc., while their predators could be big cats like lions or tigers, wolves, bears, snakes, eagles and many others. The relationship between predator and prey is a fundamental aspect of the natural world, with both species constantly adapting to each other's strategies in order to survive.
