a larger population would feed on the fewer population because the population is small and it is less likely for them to defend themselves. and pretty soon when both populations aren't balanced out the bigger population overtakes the fewer population and leads to extinction

What A threatened species is likely to have than an endangered species.?

A threatened species is likely to have a larger population and a broader distribution than an endangered species.

As a result, threatened species may have more opportunities for recovery if conservation efforts are implemented effectively.
