Predator satiation is an ecological strategy employed by certain prey species to avoid predation. This phenomenon occurs when prey animals reproduce in such large numbers that they overwhelm their predators' ability to consume them all. During a specific period, often linked to seasonal cycles or favorable environmental conditions, prey populations experience a rapid increase in numbers. When faced with an abundance of available prey, predators may become satiated, meaning they cannot eat all the prey available.
