What can happen to the ecosystem if lions were extinct?

Answer 1

Lion extinction will result in a significant increase of its prey, such as deers, as there is one less predator for them. This will in turn cause grasslands to be wiped out as the prey of lions' population increases. Many herbivorous animals would then be fighting for food, causing many animals to die of starvation or move out of their habitat.

Answer 2

The population of zebra, antelope, and wildebeast would go up, and there would be less grass to feed them, because there would be so many. When the grass was gone, they would all die of starvation. So lions better not go extinct, or there will be a serious problems.

Answer 3

The impact that it would have woud be so great that the ecosystem would be out of balance because without the lions then all the animals that the lion ate would be greatly over populated. then since their is a lot of those animals what ever they ate would be so scarce that all of them would die . lastly the whole ecosystem would just fall apart

Answer 4

If lions were removed from the food chain the animals that the lion eats would become overpopulated. As the animals overpopulate, the foods that they eat would become scarce.

Answer 5

if the lion was removed from the food chain all the no plant eater will die and all the grass will be eating and other animal will have no grass to eat

Answer 6

Prey species would overpopulate, which could cause disease to decimate the herds.
