How predators and prey dance in a continuous cycle of life
In short: Explore the delicate balance of nature through the lens of population dynamics. This video explains the interconnected relationship between hunters and the hunted, using a classic biological example.
The video examines how the growth of one population directly influences the other. In a typical cycle, an increase in predator numbers causes the prey population to decline. As food becomes scarce, the predator population eventually drops, allowing the prey to recover and restart the loop.
A primary example of this interaction is the relationship between the Canadian lynx and the snowshoe hare.
