Question

review the chart, which shows the population sizes of three african animals in 1990 and in 2000. population estimates of animals in africa in 1990 and in 2000. which explanation is best supported by the numbers in the chart? lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions. the dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations. overhunting of lion and cheetah populations has led to a decline in the food source population. lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and lions outcompete cheetahs.

Explanation:

The chart shows population declines of zebras, cheetahs and lions from 1990 - 2000. Lions and cheetahs are predators that compete for the food - source of zebras. The decline in zebra population can impact both lion and cheetah populations as they compete for the remaining food source.

Answer:

Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions.
