Snowshoe hare and Canadian lynx live in the boreal forest of Canada. The snowshoe hare is the main prey species of the Canadian lynx. They usually live 1 to 2 years and have four to six offspring at one time. The Canadian lynx is a large cat, which lives up to 15 years and has one to four cubs each year. In spring when vegetation is plentiful, the hare population increases quickly. When the hare population becomes more numerous, they are easy to track and catch, and the Canadian lynx population increases. The Canadian lynx hunts the snowshoe hare and causes their population numbers to drop over time.
When the hare population increases, it is easier for the lynx to find and take a member of that population. This is an example of a:.
a) density-independent factor
b) community factor
c) growth factor
d) density-dependent factor
