For the Predator/Prey Lab, our habitat was a tropical forest. We had three different species of rabbits: white rabbits, light green rabbits, and dark green rabbits. The wolf species had two types of variations, large in size and small in size. In the first few generations, the wolves ended up dying of starvation due to the small population size of the rabbits. Also, the light and dark green had better adaptations to survive due to better camouflage, so the white rabbits were close to extinction at the beginning of the lab since there were so few. Over time, the rabbit population became more abundant, so the wolf population also became more abundant due to more opportunity to get food. However, once the wolves began to reproduce a lot, the rabbit population started to decline. In turn, so did the wolf population.
