Question

If humans didnt exist, what would be at the top of the food chain?

Answer 1

large carnivores, varying depending on the area.

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by the top of the food chain but bacteria would continue to be the most plentiful form of life on earth.  Large carnivors would be the same we have today, wolves, bears, mountain lions, tigers, lions, hyenas, etc.

Answer 3

Honestly there would be no one animal at the top. The orca and shark would rule the sea. The Big Cats, Wolf, and some other animals would probably rule the land. there is way to many enviroments to say that one animal would be at the top everywhere. Humans have adapted to many different enviroments and developed lots of tools. I can't think of one animal besides some bugs that can live almost everywhere. It would be a tie of the rulers of their food webs.  

Answer 4

The most dominant large carnivore in the region it lives in.  In other words, there wouldn't be one species, although they'd be of a similar type.
