They are herbivores as they are ruminants and eat plant material.

What animals live on Mount Kilimanjaro?

The greatest diversity of wildlife exists in the lowest zone on the mountain, the rainforest, which includes larger animals such as the blue monkey, colobus monkey, and Hartlaub's turaco (a bird) among many others. In the higher reaches of the mountain, diversity of wildlife tapers off, but includes several ubiquitous species: white-necked ravens, four-striped grass mice, stone chats, and streaky canaries.


What plants and animals live in Greenland?

A wide variety of plants species can be found on the tundra. Most of them tend to grow low to the ground to avoid high winds. Common types of tundra plants are Bearberry, Arctic moss, Caribou moss, Diamond Leaf Willow, Labrador Tea, Pasque Flower, and the Tufted Saxifrage. Lichens and mosses are important, particularly in the harshest climates. Animals in the tundra eat these plants to survive, gain energy, and to stay warm. Some plants are hairy to stay warm in the Tundra's climate.


Which is bigger a reflecting or refracting telescope?

Reflecting telescopes tend to be larger than refracting telescopes because they do not suffer from chromatic aberration, allowing for larger apertures and therefore more light-gathering capability. This makes reflecting telescopes popular for professional observatories and research purposes. Refracting telescopes, on the other hand, are limited in size due to the weight and cost constraints of large glass lenses.


What animals live at the North Pole?

There is no actual land at the North Pole itself, but the area has plenty of Arctic ice. Many people consider that the North Pole is the same as the Arctic, but in fact the North Pole is only a small section of the Arctic. For the purposes of this question, creatures of both the North Pole and Arctic will be included, as no animals actually live on the North Pole.Polar bears are the dominant land animal on the Arctic ice, and while they generally do not travel as far north as the North Pole (due to lack of food), tracks on the North Pole ice have apparently been recorded. Polar bears often feed on seals, which are amphibious, meaning they are mammals that live in water and on land. Therefore, it can be assumed that seals are also found in the Arctic regions - particularly Harp Seals. Northern Fur Seals are found within the Arctic but also not at the North Pole.There are many marine and semi-aquatic mammals in the Arctic Ocean surrounding the North Pole. These include the Beluga whale, Killer whale, narwhal and walrus.Zooplankton are tiny animals found in seas everywhere, with some being adapted to the icy waters of the Arctic and North Pole. Shrimp and amphipods are also found near the North Pole.Migratory birds that visit the Arctic include the Arctic tern, Snow goose and puffin. Other birds observed near the North pole are the Snow Bunting, Northern Fulmar and Black-legge Kittiwake.Other mammals that live in the regions of the Arctic where land is found, but not at the North Pole, include the ermine, caribou, wolverine, reindeer, short-tailed weasel, musk ox, ermine, Dall sheep, Arctic wolf, Arctic fox and Arctic hare. The Greenland Shark swims in the icy Arctic waters, and the Snowy owl can be found on the fringes of the Arctic circle.Contrary to common misconception, there are no penguinsat the North Pole.


Is Africa north of Antarctica?

I really don't think "latitude" is the coordinate you want, but I'll answer as if it is. -- The southernmost point of the [48 contiguous] US is Ballast Key in Florida, at 24.52° North latitude. -- The northernmost point of Africa is near Bizerte in Tunisia, at 37.33° North latitude. -- So the [48 contiguous] US are not separated at all from Africa in latitude. In fact, they overlap by about 12.8 degrees of latitude ... a little over 880 miles ! -- Hawaii, at 18.93° - 22.24° North latitude, is completely within the latitude range of Africa. -- The southernmost point of Alaska, at the southern tip of Dall Island, is 54.66° North latitude ... 17.33° (about 1,200 miles) farther from the equator than the northernmost point in Africa.
