DO DEERS EAT YUCCA PLANTS?

Yes, deer can eat yucca plants, although they may not be their preferred food source. Yucca plants contain saponins, which can deter some herbivores due to their bitter taste. However, in times of food scarcity, deer may consume yucca if other options are limited. The extent of yucca consumption can vary based on local deer populations and availability of alternative forage.


What advantages and disadvantages of a Yucca plant and yucca moth?

The Yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where the moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries.

However, this relationship can also have disadvantages, such as potential damage to the plant's seeds and the possibility of the moth overpopulating and harming the plant population.

Example of mutualism?

An example of mutualism is the relationship between the yucca plant and the yucca moth. The yucca moth pollinates the yucca plant while laying its eggs inside the plant's flowers. In return, the yucca plant provides a place for the moth to lay its eggs and ensures the propagation of its species through pollination.


What animal is a symbiotic relationship to a yucca?

It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
