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.
