Answer:

Due to its size and feeding requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the forest ecosystem, many lions feeds on one deer or buffalo because the food is in large amount and this food is enough to fulfill the requirements of that lions so we can say that many predators eats one prey while on the other hand, there are some predators that feeds on many prey at one because they are small in size and one prey did not fulfill their requirement so that's why the predator feeds on many preys. Fox feeds on many mice is the example of one predators feed on many prey.
