Why are there fewer carnivores than herbivore?
Plants produce food Herbivores eat plants Carnivores eat herbivores Thus to keep everyone fed there have to be more plants than there are herbivores to eat them (or the herbivores would starve) and more herbivores than carnivores (or the carnivores would starve).
Are there more herbivores or carnivores in the Serengeti?
There are more herbivores than carnivores in the Serengeti. This is because the herbivores form the base of the food chain, supporting a larger number of carnivores that prey on them. The abundance of herbivores also supports a diverse ecosystem with various species of grazers and browsers.
Why aren there more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain?
It is the way nature plays out. The carnivores eat the herbivores, so it is impossible to have more carnivores then herbivores. If there are too few herbivores around, the carnivores begin to starve, so for that reason there will always be more herbivores then carnivores. Most carnivores protect there territories from other carnivores, killing them if necessary, because they instinctively know an area can only support so many carnivores based on food supply -- which for them are herbivores. Also many carnivores are capable of practicing birth control to some degree to keep their numbers appropriate for the number of herbivores that can sustain them.
Why cant there be more carnivores than herbivores?
carnivores are animals which eat animals while herbivores are animals which eat plant and every one knows that plants are an easy source of food with this herbivores increase in numbers as there is plenty and easy to get food and carnivores stay at a low number as it is difficult to catch there food

Are there more carnivores than herbivores?
I think there is a pretty even amount of carnivores and herbivores. There might be a bit more herbivores because they need more of their species to survive, since the carnivores hunt them.

Why do herbivores have more energy than carnivores?
In order for a food chain to be stable, there must always be less biomass as you go up in trophic levels (i.e. from plants to herbivores to carnivores). This is basically because energy is always lost as it is transferred to each successive level, since herbivores use some of the energy they get from plants to stay alive (leaving less for carnivores who eat them), and so there will always be fewer carnivores than herbivores.
Can there ever be more carnivores than herbivores in an ecosystem?
I think there are supposed to be an equal amount as well as plants the herbivores eat. This is to maintain an equilibrium so no side makes the other extinct. I think this holds true to the point of an outside factor. Weather killing a large amount of plants could affect an ecosystem by having a lack of food for the herbivores. They may die off leaving little to no food for the carnivores. I think it's all about equilibrium so there should not be more carnivores than herbivores and vice versa.
What among herbivore carnivore and omnivore has the longest list?

Are invertebrates herbivores carnivores or omnivores?
