Food Web of Rocky Mountain National Park

Below is a food web modelling eating habits of organisms in Rocky Mountain National Park. As you can see the grizzly bear consumes the largest variety of organisms, while the bison consumes the least amount of organisms. If we take apart the food web and simplify it, it consists of four main groups, staring with the producers, which in this case would be things like nuts, ants, leaves and grass. Then, we move to the next level which would be the first level of consumers, things like insects, deer, moose/caribou, and raccoons. Then, we move to the second level of consumers with organisms such as the wood frog, beavers, snakes and pikas (ground rabbit). Then, we move to the final level, the third degree of consumers, with things like the bald eagle, black bears, the grizzly bear, and coyotes. Over time humans have slowly altered the food we/food chain in Rocky Mountain National Park by driving certain organisms away due to the amount of physical, water and air pollution, making animals resort to other organisms for consumption.
