Energy Pyramid

The rabbit is the prey, and the fox is the predator, so they have a predator-prey relationship. The rabbit population decreases, because the fox population ate the rabbit population. If there aren’t enough rabbits, than the fox population would decrease. If the fox population doesn’t eat the rabbit population, than the rabbits would become overpopulated.
