Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm learning about food chains in school. What's a food chain?
user
A food chain is when one animal eats another animal, and that animal eats another, and so on. For example, a mouse eats seeds, a snake eats the mouse, and a hawk eats the snake.
assistant
What's at the top of a food chain?
user
The animal at the top of a food chain is usually called a "top predator." It's the animal that doesn't get eaten by any other animal. In our example, the hawk is the top predator.
assistant
Are there any other terms I should know?
user
Yes, you should also know about "prey" and "predator." The prey is the animal being eaten, and the predator is the animal doing the eating.
