Anti-predator adaptations are mechanisms developed through evolution that assist prey organisms [~non-humans] in their constant struggle against predators [~humans]. Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations have evolved for every stage of this struggle, by

WARDING OFF ATTACK

non-humans warding off attack of humans through mechanisms such as:

whether by advertising the presence of strong defences in aposematism, by mimicking animals which do possess such defences, by startling the attacker, by signalling to the predator that pursuit is not worthwhile, by distraction, by using defensive structures such as spines, and by living in a group. Members of groups are at reduced risk of predation, despite the increased conspicuousness of a group, through improved vigilance, predator confusion, and the likelihood that the predator will attack some other individual.
