| predation |
The capturing of prey as a means of maintaining life. One (of many) examples of predation in the longleaf pine forest is the grey fox. Using its strong sense of smell and keen eyesight, the fox hunts around the forest looking for food. One food type the fox is particularly fond of is ground-nesting birds like bobwhite quail.
