Task 3

Search Image

Prey detection is the process by which predators are able to detect and locate their prey via sensory signals. Visual predators may form what is termed a search image of certain prey and use these images in pinpointing their prey. This search image is a mental image kept in the predator animal’s mind to help it locate prey. Predators visually identify a prey based on its shape, size, and color. A search image of prey is formed over time and can be developed or refined to include new details.

How does the example given by the professor help illustrate the meaning of search image? Use specific details in your answer.
