In the Arctic, herbivores generally outnumber carnivores. The primary herbivores in this region include species like caribou, muskoxen, and various migratory birds that feed on vegetation. Carnivores, such as polar bears, Arctic foxes, and wolves, are fewer in number as they rely on herbivores for food. Thus, the ecological balance favors herbivores in this harsh environment.

Is there more carnivores than herbivores?
In general, there tend to be more herbivores than carnivores in an ecosystem. This is because herbivores form the base of the food chain, supporting the larger number of carnivores that rely on them for food.
Why are there fewer carnivores than herbivore?
Plants produce food Herbivores eat plants Carnivores eat herbivores Thus to keep everyone fed there have to be more plants than there are herbivores to eat them (or the herbivores would starve) and more herbivores than carnivores (or the carnivores would starve).
Why aren there more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain?
It is the way nature plays out. The carnivores eat the herbivores, so it is impossible to have more carnivores then herbivores. If there are too few herbivores around, the carnivores begin to starve, so for that reason there will always be more herbivores then carnivores. Most carnivores protect there territories from other carnivores, killing them if necessary, because they instinctively know an area can only support so many carnivores based on food supply -- which for them are herbivores. Also many carnivores are capable of practicing birth control to some degree to keep their numbers appropriate for the number of herbivores that can sustain them.
