Answer 2

Answer:

A predator is an organism which kills other organism to obtain it as food, whereas as a prey is the inferior organism which is incapable of defending itself and being killed by the predator.

The group of bobcats being predating the prey at the top of the mountain when moves to valley below is likely to decrease the population of the prey in the valley because although the bobcat change the location of their habitat the urge for getting food by hunting will be retained in them.
