Answer 2

The dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decrease in zebra population also decreases the population of the predator lion and cheetah because both predators depends on zebra for their survival. Both predators used zebra as a source of food for their growth and survival so if there is high availability of zebra so the population of Lions and cheetah also increases while on the other hand, if there is decrease in zebra population, the population of lion and cheetah also decreases because of less available food for them.
