Lab- Predator-Prey Simulation: Population Growth

In the beginning of the experiment, one wolf could barely catch one rabbit out of the three on the board. The wolf was not big enough to catch all three of them and we had to keep multiplying the rabbits in order for the wolf to survive. As shown on the graph, when a wolf does not catch the rest of the rabbits, the rabbits multiply (that is why the rabbits number goes up very high). Once there was enough wolves, they were able to land on most of the rabbits. In the end, the wolves caught all the rabbits. When the rabbits were eaten, all the wolves in the next generation died because they had no food. So, the wolves depend on the rabbits in order to survive. Without the wolves, the rabbit population would skyrocket.
