The reason why big fierce animals are rare is caused by humans. Humans may hunt animals such as tigers or whales for fur and skin etc. We also take animal habitat. Once there was a rain forest, now a desert. It may be hard to believe that we are nature's predators. We are destruction. It's how we learned to live. Sure your house may have an amazing view and might be as big as a mansion, but before that house there might have been a meadow or a forest. Animals have a right to some beauty land, too. So this is the truth.

Because such carnivores are dependent on other large creatures as a food source.

For example, if the average adult African lion kills and eats several dozen large prey animals (wildebeests, cape buffalo, zebras, etc.) over the course of a year, then its food sources must outnumber it by more than several dozen to one. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough food to go around, and some lions would of necessity starve.

Why aren there more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain?

It is the way nature plays out. The carnivores eat the herbivores, so it is impossible to have more carnivores then herbivores. If there are too few herbivores around, the carnivores begin to starve, so for that reason there will always be more herbivores then carnivores. Most carnivores protect there territories from other carnivores, killing them if necessary, because they instinctively know an area can only support so many carnivores based on food supply -- which for them are herbivores. Also many carnivores are capable of practicing birth control to some degree to keep their numbers appropriate for the number of herbivores that can sustain them.
