Why prey population does not drop to zero?
Generally the answer is that without predators to suppress their number, prey outstrip available food resources, nesting sites, or some other limited resource and thus begin to suppress their further growth through competition.
Are there always more prey than predators?
There are always more prey than predators. The number of predators increases because there are more prey, so there is more food for them to eat. The number of prey reduces because there are more predators, so more get eaten. The number of predators reduces because there is less prey, so less food.
What would happen if we overpopulated?
More people means an increased demand for food, water, housing, energy, healthcare, transportation, and more. And all that consumption contributes to ecological degradation, increased conflicts, and a higher risk of large-scale disasters like pandemics.
