Answer:

A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the number of lynx increases, a larger number of snowshoe hares are eaten—resulting in a hare population decrease. As the population of hares decreases, the lynx population begins to decline as well. The predator–prey relationship is an example of a density-dependent limiting factor.
