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?

Why are there fewer carnivores living in the tundra environments that in other environments?

Fewer carnivores live in tundra environments compared to other environments because tundras have low biodiversity, with fewer plant species to support herbivores, which in turn limits the food sources available for carnivores. Harsh weather conditions, such as extreme cold and limited food availability, further contribute to the lower population of carnivores in tundras.


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.
