This is an example of a predator prey relationship. They depend on each other. Without one, both one die. If the Zebra population decreases, then the lion population will decrease a bit, but not much because there are other animals for lions to eat.

∙ 12y agoThink of this as a math problem. The population of zebras goes down. Zebras are one of the primary foods for lions. Less food mean less lions and less lions means they have less cubs. Therefore the population goes down. Some will also die due to not finding food and the sick lions will die out not getting replaced by new births.

Suggest an explanation for why there are fewer lions than zebras on the African plains?
Generally, predators are less populated than their prey. Zebras are herbivores, meaning the grass of the African plains will always be there for them to eat. Lions, on the other hand, have to deal with the fluctuating population of the zebras and other animals for their food.

Why is a species with a small population more likely than a large population to undergo an extinction?
a larger population would feed on the fewer population because the population is small and it is less likely for them to defend themselves. and pretty soon when both populations aren't balanced out the bigger population overtakes the fewer population and leads to extinction
