A food web displays a bunch of different animals, showing what they eat and what eats them.

EXAMPLE: Trees produce acorns which act as food for many mice and insects. Because there are many mice, the weasels, snakes, and raccoons have food. The insects in the acorns also attract birds, skunks, and opossums. With these animals around, hawks, foxes, and owls can find food. They are all connected!


FOOD WEBS: show how plants and animals are connected in many ways to help them all survive

FOOD CHAINS: follow just one path as animals find food
