In the fields and forests, predators roam,
Hunting for prey to call their own.
They use their abilities, sharp and keen,
To track down their meals, so sly and mean.

But how do we know who's who,
And what kind of predator they pursue?
With a trusty field guide in our hand,
We can identify and understand.

Some predators hunt rodents small,
While others go after prey more tall.
Each has a habitat they prefer,
And unique skills they use to concur.

So don't be afraid of the predator's might,
Just study up and stay in sight.
With knowledge and respect, we can coexist,
And appreciate the role they play in the midst.

Reflections

1. What is a predator and how do they hunt for their prey?
2. Why is it important to be able to identify different types of predators and their prey?
3. What are some examples of different types of predators and the habitats they prefer?
4. How can we coexist with predators and appreciate their role in the ecosystem?
