How are predators classified?

Predators are typically classified based on their hunting strategies and dietary preferences. They can be categorized as active hunters, ambush predators, or scavengers, depending on how they acquire their prey. Additionally, they may be classified as obligate or facultative carnivores, indicating whether they primarily rely on animal sources for sustenance or can also consume plant material. Other classifications may consider their size, habitat, and the type of prey they target.
