How do Draco volans get there food?
Draco volans get their food by flying from trees to and finding ants and termites
Do echidnas store food for the winter?
No. Echidnas feed primarily on termites and ants. These are not things an echidna can store up: nor does it need to, as termites and ants are plentiful throughout Australia all year around.
Why does the echidna rely on plants?
The echidna does not rely on plants. Its diet is made up of termites and ants, and it uses its strong claws to dig into termite mounds, or underground into ants' nests, in order to find its food. It can live in the arid desert, or in bushland - wherever there are termites and ants.
Can echidnas live around limestone?
it is unlikely. Echidnas can live anywhere there are termites and ants, and termites (the echidnas' preferred food) are only found near vegetation.
Are termites ants?
No...................... termites are not Ants because termites do not have big/small munchers at ether side of the mouth and ants are not termites because ants do not chew on wood. But they are both pests and a "white ant" is also known as a termite. as you this is all true (not like some that put in jibajaba) Termites are related closer to cockroaches then they are ants, Yes people do call them white Ants but in fact are not Ants or related to ants at all.
Would animals be affected if echidnas died out?
All animals play a part in the food chain. The echidna feeds almost entirely on ants and termites, so one would expect that if echidnas died out, ant and termite populations would proliferate.
