Why Do Peasant Do Not Live In Grasslands

Decent Essays
Pheasants live in grasslands with wide open fields. They can also live in agricultural areas. They have the adaptation to move and find food and shelter, and to run away from predators such as coyotes and foxes. Tall grasses help them hide from these predators too. Pheasants will migrate to warmer areas when the weather gets to cold, and then fly back during spring and summer.

They eat the grass that they use for cover and dig with their beak to find roots 3 inches under the ground. They also feed on tiny insects, seeds, and fruits. Predators like foxes, wild dogs, coyotes, and many other animals hunt pheasants for survival. Pheasants survive the wild by flying when getting chased or taking a risk in defending itself.

    Sea Otters Pros And Cons

    • 1244 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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.…

According to Dorcas et al. (2012), there has been a 93.3% diminution in raccoons, a 98.9% decrease in opossum and 87.5% decrease in bobcats. Additionally, the Burmese python consumes endangered birds such as, the Key Largo woodrat and the wood stork (Dorcas et al., 2012).…

    One way is when the ecosystem is changed it can cause the birds to have no home. The american kestrels like to out in the open and if we change this to where there is no open areas there will be a big chance that there are not as many of these species as there is now. This is because if we start growing forests where there is open areas there will be nowhere for the american kestrel to perch or hunt. They also like the farmland. The reason they like the farmland is it is easier to find prey because they can hover over the fields and then swoop down to catch what they spot.…

    They also do not enjoy being faced with a problem they have caused such as the death of the bird due to its consumption of their litter. Looking into the stomach of the pelican, many plastic things can be found, such as a lighter, bottle caps, and other plastic items. All of these pieces are manmade and non-biodegradable, which is horrible for the environment because the trash will never break down. These are items that a human carelessly throws away or maybe even sometimes tosses them on the ground without thinking. But seeing the damage that is done to the dead pelican from doing that, a person is more likely to take a second thought about where they are throwing their trash.…
