What might happen to the population of foxes if the population of rabbits decreases?

Answer 1

Every living thing in every biome has a role to play in that system. Take out one part of the whole, and it will ripple throughout the whole. The problem is that no one can know all of the effects one missing link can have on the biome.

Answer 2

Well, the rabbit's main food source, grass, would grow more abundantly, allowing other animals, say, the woodchuck, to populate more. this would allow the woodchuck's predators (there are not many, mostly foxes and feral dogs) to grow in population. This could also lead to the population decrease of the foxes' and dogs' other prey. These animals dying would then lead to the population increase of their food source, and so on.

On the other hand, predators of rabbits, say feral dogs, foxes, feral cats, bobcats, lynxes, ect would decrease, or they would stare eating more of their other prey (lets focus on feral cats). The feral cats' common prey, the meadow vole would have a population drop. This would allow the food source (grass) to flourish, and that would go on and on...

Answer 3

Their predators may decline in number if they could not adapt to feed on another more abundant species.

Answer 4

Then their predators Such as foxes and Large birds Will basically starve, because the rabbits are a big thing in their food diet

Answer 5

I think if all rabbit deid in earth then there will be no rabbit (simple think)

Answer 6

The foxes might not find enough food, in which case their population might also decline.

Answer 7

There would be fewer rabbits.

Answer 8

be cue your but gives air to its mama

Answer 9

Answer 10

Starvation, death.
