Four Types of Competition

There are four types of competition in the environment that exist within the animal kingdom. These types of competition determine which animals are superior and get to thrive within a certain area in a specific area. Intraspecific competition is the competition for resources between two of the same species. An example of this is two guys fighting for one girl or two of the same birds fight for one nest. Interspecific competition is the competition for resources between two different species. An example of this type of competition is a cat and dog fighting over a bowl of food.
