उत्तर
This statement is false.
Explanation:
Predation specifically involves a predator capturing and killing another living animal (prey) for food, rather than feeding on a dead animal or carrion. Feeding on dead animals is known as scavenging, which is distinct from predation. Predation involves a direct predator-prey relationship where the prey is killed by the predator for consumption, whereas scavengers feed on animals that are already dead from other causes.
