For one if there were too many top predators, the prey would be over-hunted and the top predators would starve. Another reason is that there needs to be an equal balance between the amounts of animals. Also energy decreases as it moves up the energy pyramid, therefore the top receives very little energy.
there are not a lot of predators but humans can be one
No. they were top predators
Tigers are top predators. They do not have any natural predators
well, if there were a lot, everybody (everyanimal?) below would be eaten, leaving the top predators to either duke it out or die of starvation
Lions are the top of the food chain and have no predators.
Bears have no natural predators, they are at the top of their food chain so they are predators. Bears have no natural predators, they are at the top of their food chain so they are predators.
Lions are apex predators. They are at the top of the food chain.
Panthers are at the top of the food chain, they do not have predators preying on them.
Africa is known for their predatory animals. The top five predators of Africa are the hyena, African leopard, African wild dog, cheetah, and the lion.
You would have to define how you are comparing them. Whales are mammals and sharks are fish. They are both top predators, they both swim in the ocean, have fins and share a lot of other things, but have a lot of differences also.

Cougars are top predators, so they are at the top of the food chain. Top predators have few competitors or natural enemies. However, wolves and bears are also top predators. Because Cougars, bears, and wolves share the same habitat, they can compete and kill each other if food is scarce.
