Question

a city builds a new mall in a grassy area where rabbits and coyotes live. predict how the rabbit and coyote populations might change. write 1 sentence to explain how this change might affect both populations.

Explanation:

Building a mall in the habitat will reduce the available space and food for rabbits, leading to a decline in their population. With fewer rabbits, coyotes, which prey on rabbits, will also face a food - shortage, potentially causing their population to decrease as well.

Answer:

The construction of the mall could cause the rabbit population to decline due to habitat loss, and in turn, the coyote population might decrease as their food source (rabbits) becomes scarce.
