Describe what scientists mean when they refer to an ecological community such as that shared by the leopards and lions.

An ecological community can be described as all the different species of organisms i. e all the different plants and animals, living in a particular habitat at a specified time.

An ecological community will consist of:

Predators: Organisms which feed on other organisms.

Preys: The organisms eaten by predators.

Competitors: Different organisms feeding on the same prey and hence, competing for it. For example the leopards and the lions in a community.
