To estimate the number of foxes m an area, a researcher conducted a mark-recapture survey. In the fast survey, he caught and marked 90 foxes. In his second survey a week later, he caught 120 foxes of which 40 were marked (recaptures). If you are told that the actual number of foxes in this area is 400, which of the following is a plausible explanation for the anomaly in the researcher's data?

Consider a population which is changing from one generation to the next as per the equation N(t) = R*N(t-1), where N(t) represents the size of the population at time t and R is a constant growth parameter. Under what condition is the population likely to go extinct?
