Lynxes need keen eyesight and hearing for hunting, and hares need good hearing and smell to know if they're being stalked - and good eyesight to see where they're running.

Explain how then lynx population size changes when the hare population increases?
Because lynx are predators of hares, if the hare population size increases, so will the lynx population because now there is more food available.
When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population and why?
Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares. Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food. If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty. Too many lynxes and too few hares means not enough food for the lynxes. Baby lynxes starve and the balance is adjusted. JCF

When the hare popluation increased what happend to the lynx poplution why?
With increased hares (easy prey, food) the lynx population would also increase. Should the hare numbers decrease, the lynx would find it difficult to catch their food and would decrease in numbers.
Why does the lynx population go up as the hare population goes up?
Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares. Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food. If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty.

How would the snowshoe hare population change if hunters killed most of the lynxes?
I think that the snowshoe hare population would increase because lynx hunt them so if most of the lynx were hunted then there would be less snowshoe hares killed
