What would happen to the food chain if there was no rain at all?
Carnivores eat herbivores, but they also eat omnivores, which is another category that combines the herbivore and the carnivore. Certainly there would be much less food available to carnivores if all the herbivores were gone, and the number of carnivores would decrease, but as long as there are still omnivores, then there is the opportunity for some carnivores to continue to exist. For example, we human beings are omnivores, and even if all the herbivores were to disappear, we would find a way to continue to feed our pet dogs and cats, which are carnivores. Pigs are also omnivores, so presumably we would still have them as farm animals and food sources.

How do reindeers survive in the arctic?
well basically e.g polar bears have small ears to minimise heat loss through the ears. they also have think fur to capture lost heat from the body, and this is white so it can camouflage with the snow and ice. however the skin of a polar bear is black, as black absorbs heat, therefore keeping the bear warm. also it has a large fat store for when food is scarce and also fat is warm. and for hunting it has the camouflage and strong muscles and claws to kill and eat things like arctic seals.
hope this help :P

Some species have bright spots near the tail that draw the predator's attention away from the head. Many butterflies have chunks missing from their hind wings. Which made the predator avoid attacking the botterflies head, which would be fatal. They can still fly.Brightly colored butterflies are either poisonous--or mimics of a poisonous butterfly.
