Give an example of the balance of nature
What is the balance of nature would be if the weather for a specific year is better than normal and more plants are able to grow. Because more plants are able to grow, mice and rabbits are well-fed and they produce more young. Because they produce more young, more foxes have more to eat so more foxes survive. All the mice and rabbits eat all of the plants and now there is no longer enough to go around. Many mice and rabbits begin to starve, which leaves less food for the foxes. The foxes weaken and die and now nature returns to normal.
