The Food Chain
All living things depend on each other to live.
The food chain shows how some animals eat other animals to survive.
While being food for animals higher in the food chain, these animals may
eat other animals or plants to survive. The food chain is a complex

over fishing or hunting, many other animals in the food chain are
impacted and may die. This link looks at two examples of food chains,
one in the water and the other on land.
