Q
Predators and Prey Features?
A
- If there’s Plenty of Food Available, the Prey Animals Grow and Reproduce Successfully, so Numbers Increase.
- As Prey Animal Numbers Go Up, there’s Plenty of Food Available for the Predators, so Predators can Reproduce Successfully and Predator Numbers Increase.
- The High Numbers of Predators Eat a Larger Proportion of the Prey Animals, so Prey Numbers Fall.
- With Fewer Prey Animals, there is Less Food for the Predators, so they’re Less Successful and Predator Numbers Fall.
- With the Reduction in Predators, and the Good Food Supply that Results From Fewer Animals, Prey Numbers Go Up Again and the Cycle Repeats.
