Food Chains
A food chain is a description of who eats who or what
*
In the picture on the left the who's are fish, and the rule that defines the food chain is that big fish eat little fish. Simple as it is, this is a good general rule.
Why should we care about food chains? Humans are animals that eat other animals. When the population of an animal that we like to eat (like salmon) decreases there can be several reasons: someone else is eating our salmon or the salmon can't find the food they normally eat. If we know who eats salmon, what salmon eat, and what those animals eat, maybe we can correct the situation and put more fish on our table.
