Did termites hollow out the center on the didgeridoo?

Most that you buy today are commercially crafted and are not termite hollowed. The original creation was done by finding a tree that had been hollowed out by termites to the proper degree and using that to begin. These are extremely rare however since the commercial market is a lot easier and cheaper using machines and cheap wood.


What are some of the decomposers that live in the Savanna?

Well, honey, in the Savanna, you've got your usual suspects like fungi, bacteria, and termites breaking down all that dead organic matter. They're like the cleanup crew of the grasslands, turning dead stuff into nutrients for the soil. So, next time you see a termite chomping away, just remember they're doing important work, not just causing havoc in your backyard.


What does a pangolin look like?

The Pangolin has a narrow snout with a long tongue for finding and sticking to ants. They have short rather stumpy legs, but use their sharp long claws to tear apart ant, and termite hills, their main source of food. The size of the Pangolin depends to a great degree on the species, but they average between 12 and 40 inches, with females usually being smaller. They have no outer ears or teeth. But, they are considered to hear very well, and their stomach is designed for the extra work load of digesting the food they eat totally. They also curl into a tight ball to sleep during the day, and to protect themselves, using their long tail to cover their face, and flexing their scales. The Pangolin is covered head to tail in "keratin scales", which are armor like and "razor-sharp" once they mature. This species is listed with a status of "endangered" with a population trend "decreasing" according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or IUCN Red List. A current report of July 2009 states the Pangolin populations are in serious trouble, due to the Chinese increased demand for their meat, and other body parts for medicinal purposes.

What eats a bonobo?

Bonobos eat mostly fruits (40-90% of their diet) and vegetables, but will also eat shoots, leaves, flowers, seeds, barks, pith, herbs, insect larvae, and earthworms. Bonobos do not aggressively hunt mammals. On rare occasions, they have been observed to capture duikers (small antelope) or flying squirrels. They are also known to eat termite clay for essential minerals, and have been recorded to eat 113 different types of plants per year.According to the New York Times, "The menu for bonobos at the San Diego Zoo includes bananas, broccoli, cabbage, collards, corn, celery, grapes, green beans, kale, lettuce, melons, onion, papaya, pear, spinach and turnips."Bonobos are also known to eat a large amount of Terrestrial Herbaceous Vegetation (THV) which they consume to provide their main source of protein (duikers are a delicacy).

Is a insect a termite?

Yes, a termite is an insect. Termites belong to the order Blattodea, which also includes cockroaches. They are small, social insects known for living in colonies and feeding on wood, which can cause significant damage to buildings and wooden structures. Termites have a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), six legs, and antennae—typical characteristics of insects. They are often mistaken for ants, but termites have straight antennae and a more uniform body shape. There are different types of termites, including subterranean, drywood, and dampwood, each with unique nesting habits. Despite their destructive nature, termites also play an important role in ecosystems. Ask ChatGPT
