These videos from NATURE’s The Elephant and the Termite explore animal interactions around the waterhole at Kenya’s Tsavo East National Park. While some animal interactions are harmonious, others include competition for food and life. Learn about the predator-prey interactions of some of the animals that rely on the waterholes and examine different strategies that animals use to catch prey or evade predators. Often when we think of predators we envision large, freocious creatures. However this resource considers the smaller animals—insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds—that exist in predator-prey relationships.
