The Wolf and Rabbit Lab

Analysis: At first the wolfs died easily because there wasn't a big enough population of rabbits to sustain them. The white rabbits had an even lower population because they were easy to target in the tropical forest background because they had bad camaflaogue. The green rabbits had better adaptions to survive in the environment because they blended in with the background when I was tossing the wolves. Different variations in the wolves like whether they were big or small effected the number of rabbits that they caught. It was more helpful if they were larger. Therefore they could catch more rabbits. After the population of rabbits became more dense the wolfs were able to survive and reproduce. We messed up on recording data and we forgot the first couple rounds to double the numbers of the bunnies which probably would have sped up the process. We also only made it to 12 rounds. Towards the end of the lab the wolfs started to out number the rabbits and eliminated them quickly which could have led the rabbits to go into extinction. The ecosystem had reached the carrying capacity for the wolfs so the wolfs started to die off afterward.
