One advantage of being at the top of the food chain is that you needn't fear being somebodies prey. And disadvantage is that you can still starve. There is no real importance to being a top predator.
person2: how could you still starve?
person3: The top predator is in danger of starving because he might run out of prey to feed upon. The predator/prey relationship is very eloquently demonstrated by the Hudson's Bay Company in the number of rabbit and lynx pelts that were caught in the years 1720-1849. As the number of rabbit pelts collected went up the number of lynx pelts soon went up as well. As the number of rabbit pelts fell so to did the number of lynx pelts shortly afterwards. This showed that when there were lots of rabbits to eat the population of lynx increased. When the number of available rabbits fell, the lynx starved to death.
