The factor that would limit the population of a species is a substantial amount of predators. Predators can have a significant impact on the population size of their prey, controlling and reducing their numbers. In contrast, a large amount of space or a large food supply would generally support a larger population rather than limit it. A small number of predators would typically have a lesser effect on limiting prey populations.
