Solution
No predator can become proficient at acquiring prey because prey populations evolve antipredatory traits.
Explanation:
The relationship between predators and prey is an example of coevolution, in which two species evolve in response to one another. As predators evolve to become more efficient hunters, their prey simultaneously evolve new defenses, such as increased speed, camouflage, or toxins.
