Lions look differnt to an antelope beacuse they have differnt adaptations. They akso have differences depending on what they eat eg. a lion is a carnivore and an antelope is a herbivore. The lion is the predator so has a sandy colour to not be seen by the prey and has strong eyes to look around and spot the prey. The antelope has strong legs to run away from the predator as it is the prey. Also it has eyes on the side of its head s it can look behind himself. A prey may use it s adaptation for hiding from the predator and a predator may use its adaptation to look for its prey.

Why are there fewer lions than antelopes in the African savanna?

Because lions are predators, not the pray. every food-chain on the planet has this structure. There needs to be enough antelope to feed a pride of lions, who bigger stronger and incidentally will need more food, the antelope and lion population will remain constant, more antelopes then lions, UNLESS more or less lions or antelopes move into the area, it takes lions or antelopes longer/quicker to reproduce, or disease. The peak of the lion population will ALWAYS FOLLOW the peak of the antelope population, and the trough of lion population will always follow the trough of antelope population- in other words there will always be more prey than predator. This is because if there is a decline in antelope population, this will then result in a decline in antelope population as there is less for lions to eat, with less lions, the antelopes will reproduce and have a larger amount of offspring survive, which will increase the antelope population, with more antelopes to eat, the lion population will increase until there are not enough antelope for the lions to eat, which will cause a drop in lion population, and the cycle repeats. there is always MORE prey than Predator- otherwise both species would die out.
