### Population Estimates of Animals in Africa in 1990 and in 2000

#### Review the Chart: Population Sizes of Three African Animals
The chart shows population sizes of lions, cheetahs, and zebras in Africa for the years 1990 and 2000.

| **Population Estimates of Animals in Africa in 1990 and in 2000** |
|-----------------------------|---------|---------|
| **Animal**                  | **1990**| **2000**|
| Lions                       | 100,000 | 47,000  |
| Cheetahs                    | 50,000  | 7,500   |
| Zebras                      | 15,000  | 2,500   |

#### Interpretation: 
1. **Lions:**
   - 1990: 100,000
   - 2000: 47,000

2. **Cheetahs:**
   - 1990: 50,000
   - 2000: 7,500

3. **Zebras:**
   - 1990: 15,000
   - 2000: 2,500

#### Question: 
Which explanation is **best** supported by the numbers in the chart?

- ○ Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and lions outcompete cheetahs.
- ○ The dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations.
- ○ Overhunting of lion and cheetah populations has led to a decline in the food source population.
- ○ Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions.
