Pd8: How is the graph from the simulation similar to Elk/Cougar graph? How are they different? by Brenda Gordon https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb Made with a creative frenzy en-us 2020-10-04 18:15:02 UTC 2020-10-08 18:53:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9a1.png the graph in the simulation changed much more drastically then the graph about the elk/cougar population lwagner8860 https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815035338 2020-10-08 18:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815035338 https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815036037 When the population of cougars goes up, the elk population goes down.

This is due to the cougar population hitting a  limitation while the elk population didn't and continued to grow]]> 2020-10-08 18:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815038245 slaos5200 https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815040017 the cougar population in this graph is pretty static, white the elk population is fluctuating more. In the other graph, the two populations are more highly dependant on each other.]]> 2020-10-08 18:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815040017 https://padlet.com/bgordon116/w76ylqi0ua9ivolb/wish/815040421 While the cougar population stays relatively the same over many years, the elk population fluctuates a lot.
