We study a system of semilinear elliptic equations that arises from a predator-prey model. Previous related work proved the existence of a unique positive solution to this system of equations in the special case in which the parameter $\alpha=0$ in this system of equations, provided that a positive parameter $\kappa$ in this system of equations is sufficiently large. We prove the existence of a unique positive solution to this system of equations for any $\alpha \geq 0$ and for any $\kappa>0$.
