When studying the data of our lab, one will notice the correlation between the population of the wolf, and the population of the rabbit. The data proves that a variation within ones species allows for some to be better adapted than others. Since these better adapted rabbits are more likely to survive, their traits will be passed on to the next generation. However, as the rabbit population increases, so does the wolf's population. Soon, the rabbits become completely extinct in generation 9, causing the wolf population to become extinct due to starvation. Even after the rabbit population increases, it still takes a while for the wolves to start up again.
