Wolf and Rabbit Lab

This graph above shows the number of different rabbits and wolves on the green grass. As we can see, the pattern here is that when wolves have relatively small population, the population of rabbits will grow very quickly. This trend is illustrated in Round 1-5. However, the wolves will increase in number at this point because they have more rabbits to prey on and therefore able to produce more offspring. Round 6-9 shows this trend. From Round 11 to 19, the equilibrium between wolves and rabbits are reached and thus the population is pretty even.

In this process, some rabbits become extinct because they have too small a population to survive from the predators (For example white rabbit and dark green rabbits).

Throughout the process, green rabbits have learned to adapt to the environment by variations in their body color. The light green color of their bodies are great for them to camouflage themselves in the grass. Therefore, they have higher chance to reproduce and survive from the predators.

This graph shows the population of rabbits and wolves in a icy environment. In this experiment, we only used small wolves. These wolves are smaller and therefore are not that able to prey on rabbits. As a result, the number of rabbits increase dramatically within a few rounds. However, as population of rabbits increases, the small wolves have higher chance of catching rabbits and increase their chance of reproduction and survival.
