Most carnivores are called "Keystone Predators" which means they can change hunting tactics instantly if certain prey numbers are low. When carnivores are wiped out, prey grows in numbers a lot, and weaker genes spread as the weaket prey is not killed. The producers of the food chain (grass e.t.c) also drastically decrease in amounts and potentially threaten to wipe out the prey species that rely on it. In short, the prey would populate areas very quickly and would deplete all food sources before they could replenish. Massive populations of animals would starve to death similar to lemmings. In the long term eventually a specific group of animals would evolve to become predators much like mammals did when dinosaurs died off.

If the hydrothermal vent closed up and the water become too clod for the bacteria to make their own food what would happen to the carnivores if the bacteria was present?

If the hydrothermal vent closed up and the water became too cold for bacteria to produce their own food, the carnivores dependent on these bacteria would be indirectly affected as their food source diminishes. This would disrupt the entire food chain in the ecosystem leading to a decrease in population of these carnivores.


What is the smartest carnivore?

The smartest carnivore is often considered to be the domestic dog, known for its problem-solving skills and ability to understand human cues. Other highly intelligent carnivores include dolphins, killer whales, and some species of primates such as chimpanzees and orangutans.


Why do carnivores depend on producers for their survival?

Carnivores depend on producers for their survival because producers create the food chain by converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Carnivores rely on herbivores, which consume producers, for their food source. Therefore, without producers, there would be no foundation for the food chain to support carnivores.
