How do you explain why the ecological pyramid is smaller at the top?

because most things at the top are less hunted organisms, leaving it to be eaten less. Which will result in a smaller amount.
Rather than the rest of organisms, there are more and larger because they are the hunted.
Because of energy the bottom gets 100% of the energy the next only gets 10% then 1% then .1% and so on.
