Question
Predators in nature are called prudent.
✓

Answer

  1. Predators control the prey population but if a predator over exploits its prey, then the prey might become extinct.
  2. If prey species is not available, the predator will also starve and become extinct. Predators, therefore, do not kill the prey unnecessarily. They act as prudent.
