Tell the story of the predator/prey loop.
If the owl population goes up, then ...

Below : )

Explanation:

Well, in most cases if the predator population rises most likely the prey population decreases this is because there is a big population of the predator which allows more of them to eat the prey so the prey decreases. Now when the prey decreases this again affects the predators because now the predators are limited to food so that causes many of them to decrease.

In this scenario, if the owl is the predator, as the population rises, its prey will decrease.

If the owl is the prey, the predators would most likely increase.
