Question

Some hunters are roaming in the plush green forest of Africa. They spot a deer and kill it. They decide to roast the deer there and then eat it. When the hunters had just finished enjoying the feast of roasted deer, a lion attacks them. The lion kills one of the hunters and eats his flesh.​ ​

(d)How does the above food chain differ from the food chain such as:​

plants → goat → man?​

Humans are at the end of most of the food chains in which they occur (as this picture of man taking home a fish for food shows)​

But sometimes luck runs out and humans are forced to become food for others (as this picture of lion eating a man shows). Here the human is no longer at the end of food chain. Look at the miracle of GOD: hunter has become huntedꜝ​

Solution

Food chain - Plants → Goat → Man​

  • In this food chain, man is at the end and he is eating the flesh of a goat. ​

  • Man is a predator here.​

Food chain - Plants → Deer → Hunter (man) → Lion ​

  • In this food chain, man is not at the end of the food chain and is being eaten up by the lion. ​

  • Man is also a prey here for lions.​
