How is a predator defined in the context of wildlife?

  1. An animal that eats plants

  2. Any animal that eats other animals

  3. Only large carnivores

  4. Animals that hunt in packs

The correct answer is: Any animal that eats other animals

In the context of wildlife, a predator is any animal that feeds on other animals for sustenance. This can include a variety of species such as lions, wolves, and even small insects like spiders. Option A is incorrect because although some animals may be considered omnivores and consume plants and animals, they would still fall into the category of a predator if they consume other animals. Option C is too narrow of a definition, as there are also smaller carnivorous animals that would be considered predators. Option D is also incorrect as there are many solitary predators, not just those that hunt in packs.
