Smart Prey Parade as Predators!

Prey need to be smart to survive in a predator's world. Many species that are prey have defence mechanisms to help them evade their enemies:

- Chemical Combat
          Skunks and some poisonous frogs defend themselves with foul smells and dangerous substances.

- Camouflage
          Many animals are designed with colors that allow them to blend well into their environment and go undetected by predators.

- Speed
          The simplest reaction to danger is to run! Several prey are equipped with the speed to evade their enemies.

- Trickery: false features and mimicry
          Some species have features that make them seem more dangerous than they are. Some also have adapted the ability to mimic an animal that is dangerous to their predator.

NOTE: Predators can use the same tricks. A cheetah uses camouflage to blend into its surroundings in order to get close to its prey.
