When the prey numbers would expand the predator numbers would expand and when too many predators reduced prey numbers, then the predator numbers would also wane.įor millions of years nature kept every species in check. Species waxed and waned, predator and prey maintaining a balance. Every species multiplying its numbers to the limit its niche or habit would support.
Each animal, predator or prey, carved out their particular niche and occupied that niche until they were driven out, to another niche, or went extinct, or still occupy it today.Īnd that’s the way it went for hundreds of millions of years. For hundreds of millions of years predatory animals have honed their offensive weapons while prey animals have evolved ever more effective defensive adaptations. Evolution is all about a struggle for survival and reproduction.
