- The interaction between a shark and a seal where the shark devours the seal is an example of a predation interaction.
- Predation is a biological interaction in which one organism, known as the predator (in this case, the shark), hunts, kills, and consumes another organism, called the prey (in this scenario, the seal), for food. Sharks are predators that actively hunt and consume various marine animals, including seals, as part of their diet. Predation is a fundamental ecological process that influences the dynamics of populations and ecosystems.
