In the present study, the effects of the strong Allee effect on the dynamics of the modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model, in the presence of nonlinear prey-harvesting, have been investigated. In our findings, it is seen that the behaviors of the described mathematical model are positive and bounded for all future times. The conditions for the local stability and existence for various distinct equilibrium points have been determined. The present research concludes that system dynamics are vulnerable to initial conditions. In addition, the presence of several types of bifurcations (e.g., saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, homoclinic bifurcation) has been investigated. The first Lyapunov coefficient has been evaluated to study the stability of the limit cycle that results from Hopf bifurcation. The presence of a homoclinic loop has been demonstrated by numerical simulation. Finally, possible phase drawings and parametric figures have been depicted to validate the outcomes.
