How does the predator-prey relationship maintain balance in the natural community?

1) If there are too many predators in the community (for example, wolves), then competition between them increases. There is a constant struggle for resources, which are the victims (for example, hares), and over time their number decreases. Due to the lack of food, predators begin to die, their numbers also decrease and return to normal.

2) Conversely, if there are too many victims in a community, then various diseases spread faster between them, which ultimately leads to a decrease in their number. At the same time, predators do not lack food, and primarily eat the sick and the weak. Gradually, the number of victims is reduced to normal.
