This is a much studied relationship that one might learn about in grade 10 science or Biology 11. Predators rely on the population of their prey for sustenance. An increase in predators could lead to a decrease in the population of the prey which in turn leads to a decrease in the predator population. As the predator population decreases the prey population can again increase and the cycle begins anew.

In predator-prey relationships, the number of prey is always MORE than the number of predators. The changes in the relationship can be illustrated in the following ways;

1. Prey population increases

More food will be available for the predator.

2. Predator grows well and reaches reproduction age

3. Predator population increases

4. More predators preyed on the preys

5. Prey population decreases

6. Less food for the predators

7. Predators die of starvation and do not reach reproduction age.

8. Prey population increases (goes back to one)
