Bugs Bunny vs. Wile Coyote

Today we did the wolf hunting rabbits lab. Here were the results of the lab:

Conclusion

The first pieces of our data didn't make too much sense but here is a possible explanation: The first few generations of rabbits were still adapting to their mutations so the numbers were relatively similar with the normal white bunnies actually surviving the most. However, once the adaptations were complete, the light green rabbit population began to thrive, while every other variation of rabbit fur went extinct. This is because the light green rabbits used their fur as camouflage, blending into the light green background of the temperate grassland. Many wolves starved when there was a small population of rabbits on the playing field, obviously, because there were less rabbits to eat. Thus, the light green adaptation worked the best because it allowed the rabbits to blend in and made it tougher for the wolves to find food.
