Question
a population of rabbits (some with white fur and some with brown fur) live in a desert. wolves, which rely on sight to hunt, are the main predators of these rabbits. how does this scenario demonstrate competition?
the rabbits compete for limited hiding places to escape from predators.
wolves catch more white rabbits, so brown rabbits survive and reproduce more. over time, brown fur becomes more common in the population over the generations.
there are different fur colors (white and brown) in the rabbit population.
brown fur, because it helps rabbits blend in better with the desert and hide from predators, which increases their chance of survival.
Competition occurs when organisms vie for limited resources. In this scenario, rabbits compete for the same limited hiding places to avoid wolf predation, as hiding spots are a scarce resource both white and brown rabbits need for survival.
