They have to constantly search for food that hasn’t been tainted with pesticides, such as DDT, and other pesticides that their food might intake, which then infects them.

They mainly eat fish, smaller birds, bugs, and mice. One of the kinds of birds that they used to eat is the Hawaiian Crow which is now Extinct in the wild.

    Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world, specifically sea otters, blue crabs, jaguars, and as we discussed in class wolves that illustrate predators that decimate their prey because of the food chain (quora.com).” First of all, in the example of the sea otters, sea otters eat urchins. Sea urchins are omnivorous animals and therefore eat both plant and animal matter. The sea urchin mainly feeds on algae on the coral and rocks, along with decomposing matter such as dead fish, mussels, sponges, barnacles, and kelp.…
