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

	1990	2000
cheetahs	50,000	7,500
lions	100,000	47,000

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 lion outcompete cheetahs. lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions. which explanation is best supported by the numbers in the chart?

Explanation:

The chart shows a decline in zebra population from 1990 to 2000, and also a decline in lion and cheetah populations. A decrease in the prey (zebra) population can lead to a decrease in predator (lion and cheetah) populations due to less food availability.

Answer:

The dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations.
