Food Web comparison

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about food webs. Food webs are like a food chain but the food webs cross over each other and point to more than one thing unlike a food chain points to one of it predators and one of it predators only. Arrows that point to the animal from another are the energy that are being transferred to the animal that is eating it. For example the Stoat has red arrow pointing towards it from the Kiwi. So the Kiwi is getting eaten by the Stoat and the Stoat gets energy that has been transferred from the Kiwi. First we had to compare at least three differences between the two food webs. The first difference between our food webs are that the first one has one color per arrow pointing to one thing so for example the Stoat only has one color of arrows pointing to it and then for the rat it is the same then so on. On the second food web it only has some that have one color pointing to it but the rest are a bit random but I was close. The second Difference is that some of the arrows are pointing somewhere else or have more but I have a little less arrows and some of mine are pointing to a different direction. The last difference is that the first one is more complex and hard to understand then the second one is less complex and a bit easier to see. Have you ever made a food web?
