The populations of foxes and rabbits are likely to fluctuate in a predator-prey dynamic, where an increase in rabbit numbers provides more food for foxes, potentially leading to a rise in the fox population. However, as the fox population grows, increased predation may cause a decline in the rabbit population. This cyclical pattern can continue, with both populations experiencing periodic increases and decreases based on food availability and predation pressure. Environmental factors and habitat changes can also influence these dynamics over time.
There would be less rabbits, and more foxes.
Predators of rabbits, to keep the ecosystem in balance. For example, foxes and snakes
Ecosystems are based on the amount of energy in the first or lowest level: trees, grasses, and shrubs. The next level can get only 10% of the first level to use for growth and reproduction. These are those that eat the plants (herbivores) of the first level. Rabbits would be included in this second level. Only 10% of 10% of the energy of the first level can be passed on to the third level, the carnivores. Those include foxes. Rabbits would be 10% of the biomass of the ecosystem (at most) and foxes only 1% (at most).
herbivore
A population of rabbits would be expected to have greater biomass due to their lower trophic level position and larger population size compared to the population of foxes, which occupy a higher trophic level and have a smaller population size.

yes!foxes do eat rabbits
The population of rabbits and foxes change over time due to a predator-prey relationship. When the rabbit population increases, it provides more food for the foxes, causing their population to increase. As the fox population grows, they consume more rabbits, leading to a decrease in the rabbit population. This cycle continues in a fluctuating pattern over time.
It is like foxes and rabbits, the foxes are the predators and the rabbits are the prey. They depend on eachother, if the amount of rabbits goes down, then so will the foxes etc.

They foxes will have a ten-year population cycle
Foxes in Texas eat a variety of animals and plants. Rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, birds, insects, earthworms, fish, and a number of other animals are eaten by foxes.
the number of rabbits will decrease because that's fox's main food source
foxes
In a forest
yes they do
