Predator vs. Prey Lab

Analysis:
We began with one rabbit of each color and one wolf. With this small amount of rabbits, the wolf died off within the first round. The rabbits were duplicated (reproduced) and this same pattern happened a few more times until there were enough rabbits to sustain the wolves. As we saw an increase in the population of wolves, we also noticed that larger wolves tended to be more common as their chances for survival were higher due to their surface area and thus reproduced more often.  Then however, once the wolf population became too large in comparison to that of the rabbits, it became to difficult to sustain themselves and the population died out. This same pattern continued throughout the lab.
