What happens to the prey population if the predator population increases?
it stays the same or increases with the preythe prey will run out of food making it's population decrease. that will cause the predator's population to go down because of the lack of food
Why are ocelots important?
They are important because they need to keep its prey's population low.

How do African lions hunt down prey?
Lions live in prides. The pride is headed by one or two male lions with many female lions and cubs. The male lions role is predominantly to mate with the lionesses and protect the pride. The female lions do bulk of the hunting for the pride. However in case of large prey like a water buffalo or a giraffe, the males too take part in the effort to bring down the prey Lions are ambush hunters. They hunt as a group. They stay low and hidden and go near an unsuspecting prey like a Gazelle or a Zebra and then once sufficiently close, they sprint and take down the prey. All animals of the pride take part in the hunt.

Which is most likely-prey limits predators or predators limit prey?
There is truly no answer... And there is no equality in nature either. The balance of nature is in fact; that it is, constantly out of balance. The predator / prey relationship looks like 2 alternating rollercoasters on a graph over time. But I believe that the prey limits predator. When predator levels become too high, usually because of high prey levels, they prey is inadvertently limiting or controlling the predator by providing large quantities of food. Eventually, the predators will consume most all their prey and most predators will perish. Only the strongest, fastest, smartest, determined and resistant to disease and famine will survive. Thus, the lack of prey, is now the limiting the predator by its own absence. At some point the predator's population will rebound. But only once the prey have reached high enough levels again, to supply the predator with an ample food source to be successful and thus increase reproductivity. Also, it is also up to the prey's ability to survive those low spots on the graph that will ultimately determine the predators fate. The prey is limiting the predator in all the scenarios I can think of! The supply of prey also is another way that they can inadvertently limit the predator. ~Matt G.

A variety of sharks, squid, and carnivorous whales (ex. Killer Whales) might be successful in killing an infant or adolescent blue whale given advantageous circumstances, but even that chance is low. Healthy adult blue whales have only one predator; Humans.
