animals have adapted to reduce their risk of being eaten by prey, by being able to camoflouge and blend into its background when a predator is in sight because as they blend in, it wont be easy for the predator to spot its victim. other animals have also grown either horns or prickly spikes, for example the enchida has skies all over it and uses them as self defense when it feels threatend, a springbok can also use its horns to protect itsself from predators , so both horns and spikes could hurt the predator.
