A house cat hunts mice hiding in the house, killing and eating it. Is this an example of commensalism, mutualism, parasitism, or predation
1 answer
This example would be classified as predation. Predation refers to a form of interaction between different species where one organism (the predator) hunts, kills, and consumes another organism (the prey) for sustenance. In this scenario, the house cat (predator) hunts and consumes the mice (prey) for food.
