The Food Web

A Food Web

     The food web is basically a bunch of animals that are connected by where the energy travels. A food web involves lots of different animals eating others and the energy travels from the sun to a producer then to a herbivore then to a carnivore, then once the carnivore is dead, a decomposer may come and eat it. In the example the food web starts with grass, then either a rabbit, a mouse or a cricket eat it. An owl eats the rabbit, the mouse or a snake. Then the frog eats the cricket, and the snake eats the frog. The problem is, when one animal goes extinct, the whole food web will collapse. This food web has 4 different food chains in it!
