If the prey population consists only of light-colored rats on a dark ground, they would be more easily spotted and captured by the eagle, leading to higher predation rates. As a result, this would likely result in a significant decline in the light-colored rat population, potentially leading to their extinction if they cannot adapt or find refuge from the predator.
