Claim:Hunting in groups is more effective.
Evidence: shown on the round 1 table they get less prey then on the round 2 table.

Reasoning:on round 1, one single female can't get a zebra but a pride of lions can . Also they managing there energy better when in prides. In prides you can also get more food then if a female lion is solo.

Claim: Hunting in a group is more effective.

Evidence: For example, a Zebra has a total cost of 55,000 kcals that are spent. A Zebra also weighs 310 kg so it would be harder for a lion to hunt it on its own.

Reasoning: This data shows that lions need to hunt in a group vs one lion on its own.

Claim: Hunting in groups is more effective than hunting by yourself

Evidence: Hunting in groups could give you an advantage in fights. If you are in a big group and come across another big group then you could have a much better chance at winning the fight than if you were just by yourself.

Reasoning: We stand by this because you would have a better chance at winning/surviving the fight if you hunt in groups

Claim: Hunting as a group would be more effective than hunting solo.

Evidence: lone lion can hunt up to a warthog -5000 +12000

A pride can hunt up to a zebra -55000 +170000

Reasoning:As shown in the evidence when hunting solo it is harder to hunt and get enough calories and not spend them all,and not getting them back.

When hunting in a group you can catch bigger animals ,catch more than you need to feed the pride and stay healthy.

Claim: Pride

Evidence: In a pride lions can share their energy to hunt something bigger.

Reasoning: This way they don’t run out of energy, and they can get more energy for everyone in their pride.

Claim: Pride

Evidence:Killing a zebra takes 55,000 kcal. A lion has 14,500 Kcal.

Reasoning: As a pride the lions have more energy to expend on hunting larger prey which can net the pride enough energy to feed them all.

Claim: Pride

Evidence: Each lion can only use 14,500 calories a day. Also, data shows that a tribe of 8 needs 106,000 calories a day in order to live.

Reasoning: When you can only use 14,500 calories, what you can hunt becomes a very small list. Only females can hunt, so 4 females would be able to use enough energy to get 106,000, since they can use 58,000 calories.

Claim: It's better to hunt in groups than individually.

Evidence: Higher percent chance that they will catch their pray.

Reasoning: By having a higher percent catch rate they will remain healthy and full of energy to keep hunting and the group of lions will prosper.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:18:36 UTC

Claim:Hunting in a group is better than hunting alone

Evidence:A lion can only use 14,500 calories per day so it has almost no chance to kill a zebra which usually takes 55,000 calories and when in a big pride of 4 lions, it is very easy to take down a zebra and they gain around 115,000 calories in net worth.

Reasoning:Hunting in a group is statistically better compared to hunting alone. The larger group has more calories to spend which gives them a larger variety of animals to hunt while a lion hunting alone can’t kill larger animals but only the small ones.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:18:42 UTC

Claim: Pride

Evidence:
A lion needs at least 106,000 calories a day to feed everyone in its pride
When hunting a zebra the pride saves 75,000 calories per lion, and you still have 9,000 leftovers.
Reasoning:
when hunting in your pride, every lion is saving more energy while getting the same amount of calories.
When hunting a zebra it is best to stay with your pride so you can save energy.

Claim: Pride

Evidence: It cost 106,000 calories to feed a pride, but one zebra gives 170,000 kcal per.

Reasoning: More hunters allows to catch bigger prey, feeding more of their pride. It also will give more protection to other predators that live in Africa.

Claim: Hunting in a group is more effective

Evidence: When they hunt in a group they are able to catch a larger prey like a zebra that will supply 115,000 call a day with calories to spare. When hunting solo they won’t be able to catch a larger prey like a zebra because they are only able to spend 14, 500 calories a day and a zebra costs 55,000 calories to hunt. But when there are four of them you multiple 14,500 by 4 to get how much they can all spend a day together which is enough to hunt a large prey like a zebra.

Reasoning: If they were to hunt solo it would be harder for them to catch a large prey because they are only able to use a certain amount of energy that they have individually when hunting solo.

Claim: Pride

Evidence: 4 lions can hunt a zebra, which -55,000 calories, and adds 170,000. A solo lion can’t hunt a zebra without help.

Reasoning: If you hunt together, you can gain more calories/energy than you do as a solo hunter.

Claim: Hunting as a group is more efficient because,

Evidence:The more lions there are the more energy they have together. Which means they can kill bigger animals.

Reasoning:This evidence shows when hunting impacts is more effective because even though you use more cal to the hunt the bigger animals you will end up with more cal needed for the day.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:19:51 UTC

Claim: Hunting in groups is the most effective.

Evidence: Hunting in groups lets predators to prey on animals that are larger and that hold more energy to consume. It also reduces the risks of foragers falling prey to other animals.

Reasoning: Therefore, they get the energy they need because of the larger prey they take down to feed the entire pack and maybe have some left over when finished.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:20:05 UTC

Claim: Hunting in a group is more effective because they are able to go after bigger animals and get a bigger profit.

Evidence:As a pride the lions are able to go after something as big as a zebra and are able to do just one hunt to get the calories they need in one day.

Reasoning: This supports my claim because a lone lion would have to go for many hunts in order to get there daily requirements.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:20:08 UTC

Claim: Pride

Evidence:
-One zebra takes 55,000 kcal to hunt, but gives 170,000 kcal.

-A group of lionesses have a total of 58,000 kcal to spend on hunting (14,500 each).

Reasoning: One lioness couldn’t hunt a zebra, but a group of lionesses would have enough energy to kill a zebra and feed their entire pride (106,000). Overall, the lions get more bang for their buck.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:28:13 UTC

Claim: Hunting in a group would be more effective.

Evidence:A pride would be able to expend more energy, they are able to spend 58,000 kcal. But a lion by herself can only spend 13,500 kcal. With being able to spend more energy, they are able to get more energy.

Reasoning:Lion need to have more energy to hunt more so having more energy would be able to get food faster and kill more animals.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:28:49 UTC

Claim: Group

Evidence: they have more energy as a group. One zebra is 170,000 and you lose 55,ooo as in one lion.

Reasoning: The total energy is 106,000. And together as a groups that’s not bad to gain the energy from the zebra but each lion is loosing less than 55,000 because the hunted in a group

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:29:07 UTC

Claim: Hunting in a group is more effective.

Evidence: That catching the Zebra takes more energy to take down. Which the Zebra weighs 310 kg which is 683.4 pounds.
Reasoning: Which for 1 lion would be really hard to take down.

Name(s): Joel, Rudy, Josh

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:29:12 UTC

Claim:Hunting in a group, because less energy is used

Evidence:

Zebras cost -55,000 kcal to take down
One lioness has 14,500 kcal to use
While in a group of four lionesses they have 58,000 kcal to use
In a group they could take down a zebra with 3,00 kcal leftover

Reasoning: My evidence supports me by showing the data on how much it would cost to take down one zebra. If one lioness where to attempt to take down a zebra they would have no energy remaining and would have a low chance of killing the zebra, but while in a group they could successfully take down a zebra with 3,000 remaining kcal.

Claim: Hunting as a group is more efficient than hunting solo.

Evidence: One lion has 14,800 kcal of energy but 4 lions have 5800 kcal of energy.

Reasoning: More lions have access to more energy in order to take down larger animals or take down a larger amount of prey. Rather than hunting solo and lowering the amount of energy you can hunt in a group a increase the amount of energy within a group.

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:29:22 UTC

Claim: Hunting in a group is more efficient.

Evidence: Hunting in a group can provide more energy to the pride, as more options for prey are available, and more animals can be caught. An example would be zebras; a single lion cannot catch a zebra, but a group can. A zebra ends up providing the pride with 115,000 kcal, which is an amount that can’t be obtained with any other animals.

Reasoning: A lot of energy is required to feed a pride each day; if hunters split up and hunt individually, they won’t be able to catch larger prey, such as a zebra. If they work together, they can catch more prey, and they can catch larger animals, meaning they can get more energy for their pride while hunting.

Claim: hunting as a pride is he more efficient

Evidence: lion zebra
^ ^
14,000<55,000

(4x)lion zebra

samjschulz1 — 2021-01-19 18:30:31 UTC

Claim: Hunting as a group is more effective

Evidence: When catching certain animals it takes more than one lioness to kill it. For examples zebras take more than what one lion can give to take down

Reasoning: When lioness have to feed their pride a singular one can not provide enough food for the pride by herself. When hunting for food the only way the pride will have enough is by a zebra, and when hunting a zebra one lioness does not have enough energy.

Claim: pride

2021-01-20 18:33:37 UTC

Evidence: they all gain 170,000 one zebras enough for a whole pride

Reasoning: based on the evedince a single lionn cant take a zebra by its self the energy is more then enough anna and cadi

Claim: Hunting in a group is more effective.

Evidence: Zebra cannot be hunted alone. Lions can get 115,000 energy total from Zebras. Even though lions have to share this energy it will still be easier to hunt with a group.

Reasoning: If a lion hunted alone it could get 14,000 energy by hunting 2 warthogs, or 15,000 by hunting 1 wildebeest. However zebras have 115,000 energy which will be more energy even if you split it.

2021-01-21 16:39:46 UTC

I think that hunting with a group is better.

when the whole group is hunting a zebra they can conserve more energy by working together. Instead of one hunting a zebra and risk losing all of the energy and still failing.

because it wouldn’t make sense to waste your energy.

Claim: Pride

Evidence: When hunting together, not all of the hunters have to be chasing the creature therefore spending less energy. There is also a greater chance of catching their prey with more hunters. Some prey such as zebra’s, can not be hunted by one lion because it doesn’t have enough energy.

Reasoning: Hunting in groups is most effective because the hunters are less exhausted and they can catch bigger and more prey

Claim:Hunting in groups is more effective.
Evidence: shown on the round 1 table they get less prey then on the round 2 table.

Claim: Hunting as a group is more efficient than hunting solo.

Evidence

A group hunts faster than hunting solo, and the group will have more energy left over to keep on hunting.
A solo hunter doesn't have as good of a chance to kill the prey as the group, so hunting in a group is a better option.

Reasoning: If there are more lions they are more likely to kill the prey than 1 lion because they can surround the prey and hunt it more efficiently. Since lions will hunt the prey faster as a group then they will solo, they will have more energy left over.

Claim: Hunting in a group is more efficient than hunting alone

Evidence:
It is easier to take down prey and you can do it faster, and also you can take down bigger animals

Reasoning: My evidence supports my claim because when you have more hunters you can take down prey easier because you outnumber them
