Hunters would have to kill enough animals to feed their families. The more people in their family, the more animals they needed to hunt. However, not all animals fed the same amount of people. It mostly depended on the size of the animal.

One animal...Could feed... 1 turkey8 people 1 peccary18 people 1 bass fish2 people 1 agouti2 people 1 deer22 people

Let’s look at the parts of our bar graph, and then graph the data. This line (y-axis) represents how many people an animal can feed. This line (x-axis) represents one of a certain animal.

So we label our graph like this: 25 20y-axis = how many people an animal can feed # of people

So we label our graph like this: 25 y-axis = how many people an animal can feed x-axis = one of a certain animal 10 5 turkey peccary bass agouti deer one animal # of people
