What is panther food web?

A panther food web illustrates the complex feeding relationships and interactions involving panthers (or cougars) within their ecosystem. In this web, panthers are typically apex predators, preying on herbivores like deer and smaller mammals, while also being affected by environmental factors and human activities. The food web showcases the interdependence of species, including plants, prey, and other predators, highlighting the balance necessary for ecosystem health. Understanding this web helps in conservation efforts and managing wildlife populations.
