We consider a two-species system of nonlocal interaction PDEs modeling the swarming dynamics of predators and prey, in which all agents interact through attractive/repulsive forces of gradient type. In order to model the predator-prey interaction, we prescribed proportional potentials (with opposite signs) for the cross-interaction part. The model has a particle-based discrete (ODE) version and a continuum PDE version. We investigate the structure of particle stationary solution and their stability in the ODE system in a systematic form, and then consider simple examples. We then prove that the stable particle steady states are locally stable for the fully nonlinear continuum model, provided a slight reinforcement of the particle condition is required. The latter result holds in one space dimension. We complement all the particle examples with simple numerical simulations, and we provide some two-dimensional examples to highlight the complexity in the large time behavior of the system.
