Do you have any idea of what would happen?

SquirtleTheTurtle:

The titmouse, the mouse, and the rabbits would not get eaten.

Astro:

Yes, very true do you know what else would happen?

SquirtleTheTurtle:

No.

Astro:

Well look at the food web. If the fox is gone who becomes the top predator?

The buzzard? I am only guessing because it eats what the fox eats.

NevaehJade6219:

NevaehJade6219:

buzzard and fox are the top predators

NevaehJade6219:

they dont eat eachother

NevaehJade6219:

the fox eats the titmouse the mouse and the rabbit

NevaehJade6219:

both the buzzard and the fox eat the same foods

NevaehJade6219:

except the fox doesn't eat snake

Astro:

So, That is correct, But what else would happen to the prey of the fox and the other top predators. @squirtletheturtle
