Competition is how organisms in the same area will compete for a food source, and predation is when a predator consumes prey. In this circumstance the eagles are competing to eat the fish.
Niche Partitioning
Competitive exclusion is when a species has to change their behavior due to another species. In this circumstance the deer have to move up into the mountains to avoid the bears.
Commensalism and Symbiosis
Parasitism is when an organism takes advantage of another organism and mutualism is when one organism benefits from another organism. This example shows how leeches an attach to animals in order to get a food source, and it shows how cows are eating grass which has bacteria on it that helps them digest their food.

Niche partitioning are when organisms of the same species are spread out predating on different species in order to not over predate and wipe out the prey. This is an example of Lizards going to different islands to hunt different bugs.
Symbiosis is the way that two species interact with each other and commensalism is a form of symbiosis that benefits both species. this shows how fish will swim closely to sharks to get protection, this is in exchange for any leftover food from when the sharks are eating.
