In the desert, animals like desert tortoises, rabbits, and insects eat cacti. This impacts the ecosystem by controlling cacti population growth and providing food for other animals in the food chain.
Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the main predators of whales in the ocean ecosystem.
In the savannah desert, short grasses are typically eaten by grazing animals such as zebras, gazelles, wildebeests, and antelopes. These herbivores play a key role in maintaining the ecosystem by keeping the grasses trimmed and promoting new growth. Additionally, rodents and insects may also consume short grasses in the savannah desert.
If the population of one species grows unusually fast, it can lead to competition for resources such as food and habitat. This can result in depletion of resources for other species, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. It can also lead to overpopulation, which may cause ecological imbalances and impact the overall biodiversity of the ecosystem.
No, a food chain is a linear sequence of who eats whom in an ecosystem, while a food web is a more complex model showing multiple interconnected food chains in an ecosystem. Each food chain represents a possible pathway of energy and nutrients flowing through an ecosystem.
An ecosystem is a group of living and non-living things that are connected in a specific area. The living components of the ecosystem would be the animals, plants, and microscopic living creatures.
About the only animal that will eat any form of cholla cacti are various scale insects.
people leopards lions (although these will only eat the small or the young ones,] jackals and hyenas.
Lots of people do, in fact, a few animals (most commonly desert animals eating CACTI PEAR)
Few cacti offer animals an easy meal as most are covered by dense spines. However, prickly pear cacti are often eaten by tortoises, javelina, antelope, deer, rabbits, hares and some small rodents as well as some insects.
A bear is a secondary consumer. eats the plant eaters or the primary consumers.
There is no such place as the Saguaro Desert. There is the Sonoran Desert where the saguaro cactus grows. Some small animals such as rodents and rabbits feed on the prickly pear as well as javelina, deer, pronghorns, bighorn sheep and tortoises.
In the United States, javelina and deer will eat prickly pear cacti. Some insects and a few rodents as well as the desert tortoise may dine on cacti.I do not know of any animals that eat cacti, on account of their spines, however, some bats, bees, and probably butterflies eat cactus nectar, and various animals may eat their fruit. Humans, however, do eat edible cacti, because they can cut off the spines. An example of an edible cacti is the prickly pear cactus.Deer and rabbits eat the cactus flowerbuds...
Nothing really, the plant is too spicky
what eats a caterpillar in a desert .......
An eagle eats a desert pocet mouse
Some cacti are edible such as a prickly pear cactus. Their pads and fruit's spines can be removed or burned off to eat. Some cacti however aren't edible such as the teddy bear cactus due to its spines which are heavily distriputed across the plant.
