In this paper, we consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modeling the Lotka Volterra interactions of preys and actively moving predators with prey-taxis and spatial diffusion. The interaction between predators are modelized by the statement of a food pyramid condition. We establish the existence of weak solutions by using Schauder fixed-point theorem and uniqueness via duality technique. This paper is a generalization of the results obtained in [2].
