Why are there fewer lions than antelopes in the African savanna?

Because lions are predators, not the pray. every food-chain on the planet has this structure. There needs to be enough antelope to feed a pride of lions, who bigger stronger and incidentally will need more food, the antelope and lion population will remain constant, more antelopes then lions, UNLESS more or less lions or antelopes move into the area, it takes lions or antelopes longer/quicker to reproduce, or disease. The peak of the lion population will ALWAYS FOLLOW the peak of the antelope population, and the trough of lion population will always follow the trough of antelope population- in other words there will always be more prey than predator. This is because if there is a decline in antelope population, this will then result in a decline in antelope population as there is less for lions to eat, with less lions, the antelopes will reproduce and have a larger amount of offspring survive, which will increase the antelope population, with more antelopes to eat, the lion population will increase until there are not enough antelope for the lions to eat, which will cause a drop in lion population, and the cycle repeats. there is always MORE prey than Predator- otherwise both species would die out.
