What are the different types of predation?

Predation can be classified into several types, including true predation, herbivory, and parasitism. Would you like to know more about each type?

Yes, please explain true predation.

True predation occurs when a predator kills and consumes its prey. This is common in carnivorous animals, like lions hunting zebras.

What about herbivory?

Herbivory is when animals feed on plants. While it doesn't kill the plant outright, it can affect its growth and reproduction.

And parasitism?

Parasitism involves one organism benefiting at the expense of another, like ticks feeding on mammals. The host is harmed but not usually killed.
