predator/prey

Images or animations that depict two or more different species who, in real-life, would be the predator or prey of the other(s). Note that this label by itself doesn't imply anything about the characters' interactions. Characters could act angry, happy, naughty, scared, romantic, etc.

In most cases, the predator species is usually a carnivore, meaning an animal who only consumes other animals. Pictures also often depict omnivores, which are animals that can consume both other animals and plants. The prey can be almost any species. Many carnivores and omnivores are 'apex predators'. This means that they that turn animals that would otherwise be doing the hunting into prey. A direct example of this is a fox seeking out a bird that itself hunts fish.

The domination and submissive tags and their subsets may also apply to such posts where a power relationship is established.

Tag with role_reversal too if the would-be prey character is dominant and the predator is submissive.
