The dynamics of an ordinary differential equations (ODEs) system modelling the interaction of four species (one prey or resource population, two mesopredator populations, and one super-predator population) was analyzed. It was assumed that the functional responses for each interaction were general. We showed parameter conditions that ensured that the differential system underwent a supercritical Hopf bifurcation or a Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, from which the coexistence of the four species was guaranteed. In addition, the results were illustrated by several applications, where the prey had a logistic growth rate. For the interaction of the mesopredators and prey, we considered classical Holling-type functional responses, and for the rest of the interactions, we proposed certain generalized functional responses similar to the well-known "Beddington-DeAngelis" or "Crowley-Martin" functional responses. At the end, some numerical simulations were given.
