What eats a addax?

They are few and far between, I believe a predator would be stretched to find one. But if in the wild, in large enough numbers to be hunted by something besides paochers, I'd think lions, and other large cats, crocs., and hiena packs.

Who eat ostriches?

Humans do, actually we eat their eggs and their meat. But since the Ostrichs live in the Savanah, the only thing that would probably eat them is a cheetah or lion, or some sort of cat that lives out there. They can atleast outrun the ostrich.

Is an ostrich a scavenger?

Recent theories now believe it may have been a scavenger, because of its weight, might not could have been quick enough to catch its prey, also, the teeth are for bone crushing, like a scavenger. Its sense of smell was acute, similar to modern vultures. So T Rex may not have been a great hunter, but like the hyena, might have done a little of both. The reasons to believe they were predators and scavengers are pretty obvious: 1. First thing is proof. A skeleton of a large plant eating dinosaur called Edmontosaurus was discovered and was missing one of its vertebrae. The vertebrae had a tooth mark in it that matched exactly that of T-Rex's tooth. Also the vertebrae showed evidence of healing , which tells us that the Edmontosaurus had escaped, and that the T-Rex had attacked it in an attempt to bring it down. 2. It's arms however were useless. A predator needs its front limbs for grabbing its prey. T. rex could not do that. However many paleontologists think the reason the arms of Tyrannosaurs got smaller and smaller while the head got bigger and bigger, was so that it could evolve a powerful jaw which was its main weapon in killing prey. 3. It weighed 6-7 tons. If it fell over, it would die, because it couldn't push itself up again (due to its useless arms and its crushing mass). It was probably an ambush predator however and did not chase prey once it had been spotted. 4. It was slow. Because of its size and the proportion of its leg bones (the bones in its leg are roughly the same size, like a human's, making it a pretty slow runner, unlike, say, an ostrich, which has long lower leg bones, a characteristic common to all fast runners), it couldn't get up to speed, so probably couldn't run down prey, but could ambush large slow moving prey. 5. No animal is going to pass up a free meal, so just about any meat eating animal probably scavenged. This does not make it 100 percent scavenger. An animal as big as T-Rex could not survive on scavenging alone. If it did it would pretty much have to depend on other carnivores to make kills, and an animal this big need to eat a lot. It isn't guaranteed that other carnivores will have made a kill every time a T-Rex needed to eat, therefore T-Rex would have to find prey of its own. 6. It's teeth and head muscles are unparalleled by other dinosaurs. The amount of force that a T. rex could exert with its jaw muscles was extraordinary, perfect for crushing bones and consuming all parts of a dead animal. Such musculature could be found in predators as well, so obviously T-Rex had evolved a different method of killing prey rather than having a slashing bite like most big carnivores. All that being as it may, science is a search for facts, not truth. New evidence may show up that totally refutes the argument for T. rex being a scavenger, or the facts may be interpreted differently by different people. Science is always changing, always looking to disprove itself. The evidence is strong that T. rex was, in fact, a predator, as well as a scavenger, but the "truth" of the matter is that we will never know for sure.

Who sprints faster on sand a horse or a camel?

A horse runs faster because of the muscular tendons in its legs this then the Jockey produces the speed needed for the horse a camel can run but it is jumping about more than running and the muscular tendons are less producible and it is also not as fast because of the water in its humps so there is more mass and it is denser than the horse but a cheetah is a lot faster does that answer your question? And the muscular tendons are just another word for muscles.

What size is the cell in an ostrich egg?

It kind of looks like a cell, with the yolk as a nucleus, but eggs, including ostrich eggs, are just growth chambers for the tiny embryo within. The embryo, being a living thing, is comprised of cells, but not the yolk which feeds the embryo or the white which cushions and hydrates the embryo. As the embryo grows the cells divide so the embryo contains more and more cells. The embryo uses the supplies inside the egg to create new cells as it grows into a chick.

What animals affect deer?

From a human standpoint, it would increase hunting of other animals.

The predators that feed on deer would also have to find new prey. Deer are not heavy grazers, so other herbivores would not receive much benefit.

Is a white tail deer chordata?

Yes. As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), deer share the following characteristics:

  • dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
  • notochord which is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the deer, a spine.
  • post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening. (This feature is not always present in some adult Chordates such as frogs and humans, but it is present in the deer.)
  • Pharyngeal pouches - Chordates, at some stage of their life, have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy.

How long are ostrich legs?

Why there are big humps on a camels back?

a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.

What animal group do deer belong to?

Depends on what species you are referring to. For example, White-tailed deer and Mule deer are Genus Odocoileus, Elk or Wapiti are Genus Cervus, and Moose are Genus Alces. Check out more on the Wikipedia site posted below.
