There are always fewer predators than prey. It takes a lot of mice to feed a coyote. The mice feed on nutrient-rich seeds and insects, but some of that nutrition is lost in the urine and feces. Much of the energy is used in keeping the mouse alive and functioning, and quite a bit is lost to the environment as heat given off. Only about 10% of the amount of the nutrition and energy consumed by the mouse can be passed along to the coyote, and there more of it is lost. The same is true in any predator-prey relationship.
