Population density often varies between carnivores and herbivores due to differences in their diets and ecological roles. Herbivores typically have higher population densities because they consume abundant plant resources, which can support larger numbers. In contrast, carnivores usually have lower population densities since they rely on a more limited food supply, often preying on herbivores, and their territories are larger to ensure enough resources. This dynamic leads to a generally lower density of carnivores in ecosystems compared to herbivores.
