1. Carnivory: This refers to predators that mainly eat other animals, or meat. For example, a lion that preys on a gazelle in the savannah is an example of carnivory.
2. Herbivory: This type of predation involves animals that feed mainly on plants or other vegetative matter. For instance, a caterpillar that eats leaves of a plant is an example of herbivory.
3. Parasitism: This refers to a type of predation where the predator lives inside or on a host organism and usually feeds on its tissues, blood or other fluids. For example, the tapeworm that lives in the intestine of humans and feed on nutrients from the host's digestion is an example of parasitism.
Describe the three types of predation and give an example of each.
