Predator/ Prey Lab

Above is a graph which displays the data from our Predator and Prey lab. We started with a white paper, symbolizing an arctic tundra biome. We also had three different variations of rabbits, each different colored which could help them with camouflage in their biomes (an adaptation). Three random rabbits were chosen and added to the board. A wolf (another type of paper) is dropped. If it touches any, it kills them, but if it doesn't touch three, it also dies of starvation. If it survives, it multiplies, as well as with the rabbits, which double after each round. One may be able to see, as the rounds progressed, the Dark Green took a spike, and then later faded off as the White continued to rise. I think if we would have done more rounds, we would have seen the white continue to die off while one of the other species fell (almost) all the way to extinction.
