Respuesta :

Competition would be the best answer I believe

Answer:

The relationship between species can be better characterized as competition.

Explanation:

Competition is an inharmonious ecological relation that can either occur between organisms of different species (interspecific), providing competition for one or more resources of the environment: water, food, luminosity and physical space, as well as between organisms belonging to the same species ( intra-specific), including, in addition to the other resources, competition from reproductive partners capable of proliferating fertile offspring. In this case, the species mentioned in the question are in relation of competition for food.
