Ecosystem In The Lion King

A food web is the entirety of interrelated food chains in any and every ecosystem. This delicate balance is the connection between predator and prey, consumer and producer, and autotroph and heterotrophs. Food web's also allows you to follow the direction of the flow of energy as each organism consumes each of their indicated food sources. For example, the energy from the sun is taken in by producers, such as , trees, grass and fruit. Then goes to an autotroph would be eaten by a second trophic level consumer, otherwise known as a herbivore, for instance an antelope, or Meerkat. After the first level consumers have eaten, the carnivores seek out to fill their own appetites, like lions and hyenas. Although most carnivores are not preyed
In a harmonious, and fragile co-existence that these animals thrive on, there is much that could tip the scales of balance and send the community into chaos. In the movie, The Lion King, antelope, gazelles, and zebras were consumed at a pace that ruined the cycle of life. All the prey was driven away by the erratic hyenas and starving lions. Their ecosystem became barren, empty and almost uninhabitable. In another example, Timon and Pumbaa introduced Simba, a non-native species, to the jungle. There, Simba adaptes quickly, surviving on insects and no meat, leaving his niche as Lion King in the Pride Lands. If, in reality, all the gazelles and antelope were all eaten and unable to reproduce at the same pace in which they were being hunted by hungry lions and hyenas, they would move onto the next available herbivore. All the while lions and hyenas are competing, fighting for the same resources.
