Predator Prey Graph

Snowshoe hare populations typically increase first. Choose the statement that would BEST explain why.

• The snowshoe hares increase when more Canadian lynx prey on them

• The snowshoe hares increase because more plants grow in the summer for them to eat

• The snow shoe hares increase because they cannot survive the harsh winters

What happens to the Lynx population when the Snowshoe Hare population goes up?

• The increase in the Hare population would cause the Lynx population to go up too because there   is more food for the Lynx (Lynx eat Hares).

• The increase in the Hare population would cause the Lynx population to go downtoo because there   is more food for the Lynx (Lynx eat Hares).
