Chapter 10 you s(cid:272)rat(cid:272)h (cid:373)y (cid:271)a(cid:272)k, i"ll ride o(cid:374) yours. If the prey can detect the predator at a distance, it will run away. But if the predator turns up suddenly w/o warning, then each prey will try to take steps to minimize its chance of being the nearest to a predator. nearest prey to it. This makes sense from the predator(cid:495)s pov because it limits energy expenditure. From the prey(cid:495)s pov, this: each prey has a (cid:494)domain of danger(cid:495) the area of ground in shape. )f the predator is in the prey(cid:495)s domain of danger, the small as possible ie; avoid being on the edge of the herd. If he prey is more likely to be caught.
