Questions and Answers

A predator is an animal that hunts for food.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
To help you remember the difference between predator and prey think of this rhyme: “eyes on the side-hide, eyes in the front- hunt”. Usually, animals that are preyed upon have eyes on the side of their head, like rabbits or deer. While predators have eyes in the front of their faces so they can see better to hunt, like bears or lions. During your visit try to guess whether animals are predators or prey depending on where their eyes are located!
