The graph below shows the population of foxes on four different Californian islands between 1994 and 2014. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The

line

graph illustrates the

population

of

foxes

on four different Californian Islands, including San Miguel,

Santa

Cruz,

Santa

Rosa, and

Santa

Catalina

from 1994 to 2014. The San Miguel

line

had the least number of

foxes

for the specified time period. Starting with almost 400

foxes

in 1994

then

the figure decreased until it reached the lowest point in 2000 to 2002 with a

population

of

foxes

under 15

heads

. After 2002, its

population

rose to around 400 families and has remained stable since 2010. The

Santa

Cruz

line

and the

Santa

Catalina

boundary have a similar starting point, which is around 1333

heads

or more.

Then

, both populations decreased and reached their lowest point in the year 2000 with only around 15

heads

. The

Santa

Catalina

population

began to grow again in 2002, earlier than the

Santa

Cruz’s.

Although

both lines eventually surged to a higher figure, around 1666

heads

in 2014. The difference between them is the pace of growth. The

Santa

Catalina

grows earlier but slower, showing some plateau. The data in

Santa

Cruz grew rapidly, only showing a bit of a flattened

line

from 2010 to 2012. The

last

line

is the purple circle

line

which is the

Santa

Rosa

line

. It started with the highest number of

population

, reaching almost 1780

heads

then

started to drop rapidly and had the lowest number of all lines in the year 2000. It eventually grew at a relatively slow pace and had the second least

population

in 2014. In conclusion, all of the lines show the

population

of

foxes

decreasing especially in the year 2000,

then

it grew at different paces with different final numbers of

population

in 2014.
