It depends on many factors. Normally, prey species outnumber carnivores. Example: The white tailed deer in North America numbers in the millions. If the population plummeted to say, 25000, they would be consid

ered endangered. The Bengal tiger numbers just over 2100, and is considered endangered. If there were 25,000 Bengal tigers, they would not be considered endangered.

Also, the ivory billed woodpecker was never common, and now numbers less than fifty, if they exist at all. The pileated woodpecker, a similar species, has always been common. If there were 20,000 ivory bills, they would not be endangered. 20,000 pileateds would be an endangered species. So the numbers of a given species before count tremendously in determining endangerment.
