Rodents

No. Although Prairie Dogs are almost exclusively vegetarian, nursing females have been observed both cannibalizing and communally nursing each other's pups. The various native plants of the Great Plains make up the Prairie Dog's primary diet, comprising all kinds of grasses, roots, weeds, forbs and blossoms. They acquire all of their water from the food they eat. Sometimes insects are also eaten.

No, prairie dogs are not decomposers. They are herbivores that primarily feed on grasses, seeds, and plants. Decomposers are organisms like bacteria and fungi that break down dead organisms and organic matter.

Yes, agoutis are primarily herbivores. They feed on fruits, seeds, nuts, and vegetation in their natural habitats. However, they may occasionally consume insects or small animals as well.

Agoutis are typically diurnal, meaning they are most active during the day. However, they may also be active during dawn and dusk.

Some endangered animals in prairies or temperate grasslands include the black-footed ferret, swift fox, mountain plover, and greater sage-grouse. Loss of habitat due to agriculture, urban development, and climate change are some of the threats they face. Conservation efforts are being made to protect and restore these species and their habitats.

This medium-sized herbivorous rodent thrives on fruit, leaves, and buds. As their habitat is down to three square miles, they are quite rare.

Yes, prairies and velds are both types of grasslands, but they are found in different parts of the world. Prairies are found in North America, while velds are found in Southern Africa. Both ecosystems consist of grasses and herbaceous plants but have distinct differences in biodiversity and climate.

Bison, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, white-tail deer, gophers, jackrabbits, elk, etc.

Coypus, also known as nutrias, are semi-aquatic rodents native to South America. They can be found in a variety of wetland habitats, such as marshes, swamps, and rivers. They have also been introduced to other parts of the world, where they inhabit similar aquatic environments.

Greater Prairie-Chickens are not threatened by severe winter weather. When the snow is thick they "dive" in to the snow to keep warm. A greater threat to the prairie-chickens comes in the from of spring rains. These sometimes drenching rains can wreak havoc on their chicks. Another major natural threat is drought. A drought can destroy food and make it difficult for the chicks.

Human interactions are by far the greatest threat. The conversion of native prairie to cropland is very detrimental to these birds. It was found in a radio telemetry study conducted by Kansas State University that "most prairie-chicken hens avoided nesting or rearing their broods within a quarter-mile of power lines and within a third-mile of improved roads." (Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) It was also found that the prairie-chickens avoided communication towers and rural farms.

A domestic cat is an example of an omnivore that eats mice. Cats are opportunistic feeders, meaning they are capable of consuming both plant and animal matter to meet their dietary needs. Mice are a common prey item for cats in the wild and are also known to be hunted by domestic cats.

No. Agouti are small mammals, and the only mammals which lay eggs are platypuses and echidnas.

Prairie dogs, mule deer, elk, black bears, coyotes, foxes, badgers, black-footed ferrets, rabbits, burrowing owls, eagles, hawks, grouse, ducks, song birds, insects, and snakes to name a few.

The North American countries that contain prairies are the United States and Canada. Specifically, states like Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota in the U.S., and provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in Canada have vast prairie regions.

No, chinchillas are not carnivores. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, seeds, and hay in the wild, and they should be provided a similar diet in captivity. Meat is not a natural part of their diet.

Well, of course when you get a new puppy, you must first spend quality time with it and make sure it knows you love him and show him his new home. Love him and care for him!!! But you also need to make sure that you get the "needs" like the appropriate foods, collars, food bowls, a bed, and toys, etc. Make sure to find a vet also.... he could probably tell you the rest!!!!!!!!!!

Voles play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aerating the soil as they tunnel underground, which improves soil drainage and helps plant roots access nutrients. Their burrowing activities also create habitat and nesting sites for other small animals. Additionally, voles serve as prey for various predators, contributing to the ecosystem's food web.

A water shrew typically goes through four stages in its life cycle: birth, growth and development as a juvenile, reproduction as an adult, and aging. They have a relatively short life span of around 18 months to 2 years.

rodents are carnivores but they tend to eat everything

Geographic barrier is the barrier which cease the movement of any organism through it. Now as rodents which are not able to cross the river stay apart and develop into different species whereas the as the birds are able to fly the can cross this barrier and can cross with the birds of other part which did not lead the formation of new species of birds.

Most grasslands only see an average rainfall of around 500 to 800 mm per year, such as that of the Great Plains and Mixed-Grass Prairies of the USA and Canada, respectively. The Serengeti of Africa is no different, though the Serengeti happens to have a few thousand more trees than a natural North American prairie does and has an annual rainfall that is around 200 mm more than what the temperate grasslands of North America get. The topography can range from flat to rolling hills, and is generally treeless because of the lower moisture content. Some grasslands end into cliffs and canyons and start on plateaus or in ancient volcano beds, and others are vast and run for thousands of miles without a break in the landscape.

One example of a migrating rodent is the lemming. Lemmings are small rodents that live in the Arctic regions and are known for their cyclic population fluctuations and long-distance migrations in search of food and suitable habitats. During these migrations, lemmings may travel long distances, sometimes facing obstacles such as rivers or other natural barriers.

Kangaroos primarily feed on grasses, shrubs, leaves, and ferns. Some commonly eaten plants include kangaroo grass, wallaby grass, saltbush, and acacia.

The Capybara is the largest rodent in the world. It is a member of the guinea pig family and actually just looks like a giant guinea pig. Somewhere in the area of 40 to 70 pounds and lives in marshy habitat.

I know I saw one on TV they are huge

The night doesn't move, the earth rotates. Whenever the earth rotates, different sides of the earth receive light from the sun, while the other side is dark, thus making it day and night.
