Was your population of snow shoe hares and lynx stable or unstable?

The populations of snowshoe hares and lynx are generally considered to be unstable due to their cyclical nature. These two species exhibit a predator-prey relationship, where hare populations increase, leading to a rise in lynx numbers as they have more food. However, as the hare population eventually declines due to overpredation or environmental factors, lynx numbers also decrease, resulting in significant fluctuations in both populations over time. This dynamic cycle can lead to periods of boom and bust, reflecting the instability of their populations.
