When the early settlers came to Australia, they removed lots of native bushland and Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat‘s habitats for building Houses and cities, they also made farms and agriculture areas where the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat’s lived. The Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat was known as a “pest” to many Farmers in that area. The Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat used to eat many crops and vegetation, dig burrows on farming areas and even damage fences. This was an unusual environment for the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat and lead to many Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat’s dying because they did not have their natural habitat, and they did not have native plants and grasses that the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat eats.Farmers would shoot the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat because of its damage to the farm and agriculture. This is also another reason why the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat species is nearly

    Diprotodon, meaning "two forward teeth", sometimes known as the Giant Wombat or the Rhinoceros Wombat, was the largest known marsupial that ever lived and the last of the extinct, herbivorous Diprotodontids. Diprotodon was the first fossil mammal named from Australia and one of the most well-known of the mega fauna. It was widespread across Australia when the first indigenous people arrived, co-existing with them for thousands of years before becoming extinct about 25,000 years ago.…

    The two species of sloths include the Brown throated three toed sloth, or the Bradypus variegatus, and the Hoffman’s toe-toed sloth also known as the Choloepus hoffmanni. A few differences between the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth can be found in their digestive systems, home range, relationships with other organisms, diet, and their anatomical structure. According to the map provided, the two species of sloths were found to be dispersed quite randomly. However, the majority of two toed sloths were found in the agricultural land, and the majority of the three toed sloths were found in the lowland second-growth forest. By further observing the differences in diet, mobility, and relationships sloths have with…

As rodents they have pointed, sharp teeth used for eating. In regards to there appearance, they have black or brown fur that tends to extend from the very top portion of their head to the top of their nose. Eyes are round, in shape and small. It also has five curved limbs that are used to improve their digging(Wilson and Ruff, 1999).The coloration of the marmots fur varies and can range from white, to brown to black. It uses it’s dark fur in order to camouflage from predators. The body of a Alaska Marmot has bilateral symmetry which means they have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends (Bee and Hall, 1956). They are typically large in size ranging from (539 to 652 mm).Males…

    The ecosystem roles that prairie dogs play are rather significant. Prairie dogs are primary consumers and they are important food source of all prairie-living predators such as fox, ferrets, snakes, and owls. Certain animals' survival in the wild heavily depends on the prairie dogs as main food source, such as black-footed ferrets. (1) Not only prairie dogs provide food source to their predators, the burrows they build to shelter themselves also provide big impact on other animals. For an example, snakes can hibernate in their burrows during the winter and eat their pups. Prairie dog town, which consists of multiple tunnels, can even be considered as biological oasis, since it attracts large numbers of species for using them as food resource and utilize their burrows.

    Climate change is causing many impacts throughout the world, and the warming climate of Hirta, a Scottish island, is not an exception. The climate of this island and surrounding ones has steadily amplified in warmth since 1985, the year that the study of wild Soay sheep was commenced by Professor Tim Coulson of Imperial College London. This has led to milder, shorter winters with the vegetation being more readily available throughout the year and a reduced competition for food among this species. The change on this species includes a reduction in the average body size and weight by greater than 5% over the time of this study. These warmer temperatures have reduced the need for the young sheep to grow rapidly in size and weight quickly to be able to survive to their first birthday, which ultimately leads to a smaller average phenotypic size for the sheep. As a whole, the ways that the environment has transformed has led to alterations in the evolutionary process of this species.…

    Owl pellets can provide evidence of the owl’s dietary habits and its role in its environment. Owl pellets have been used for scientific study of small mammals and their distribution. Since the owls are collecting, the scientist must locate the owls to obtain the pellets, and then study the skulls and bones of small prey living in an area. From these bones the prey species can be counted and identifies. These owls play in the role of limitating the population size of its prey. They prey species that is most plentiful in the area will be the species most likely to be captured and consumed by the owl.…

    The rabbit bandicoot also known as the Biliby is endangered, and has been for eight years. It has been vulnerable to the environment for three years. They are endangered because feral cats and other larger animals hunt them. Also, there is competition between other animals for food. Another reason why they are endangered is because of land clearing and livestock grazing habits the grasslands are disappearing, which is where the Bilibies live. It is important to save these animals because they used to be a very important source of food for native people before they became endangered around the year 1950. Now the Biliby has become a symbol of Australia’s efforts to save its native species. Biliby’s are small they are about 9 to 10 inches long.…

    Since its’ introduction to Australian shores in 1845, the European fox, or vulpes vulpes, has had a disastrous impact on the native environment. So much so that this highly adaptable mammal, originally brought to Australia for recreational hunting purposes, is now a target for extermination. Their ability to adjust quickly to changes in their environment and thrive, which has lead to much harm to both aboriginal Australian species and livestock, now means that we are faced with an ultimatum: destroy the fox, or allow the extinction of native creatures and the continued damage of livestock.…

    Red foxes don’t have much natural predators in Australia, most death only occur due to human activities or drought. In addition, red fox is a predator of variety species. They played a decisive role in the decline and extinctions of small and medium sized species. A brief review by the department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) (2008) identified that red fox are considered a treat to 48 mammals, 14 birds, 12 reptiles and 2 amphibians. Furthermore, as they also consume a range of fruits and carrions. These allow them to out-compete Australia’s native organisms for food. Now red fox had spread across Australia and the presently inhabit is about 76% of the continent (West, 2008, p.…

    Some of the abiotic factors present in this ecosystem as of today are rocks, water, sunlight, wind, and temperature. According to the food chain for the ecosystem in which I have selected, one of the animals in it was a lynx. Lynx eat small prey such as rabbits, fish, mice, and various types of birds. They are prayed on by eagles and owls; also wolves coyotes and cougars. Since the lynx has lived in a temperate forest it has adapted it fur in the winter. Also they have over the years gotten longer legs and larger feet have to hurt better in the snow. The temperate forest is home to many organisms, the web above allowed me to analyze and helped me understand the principles of ecology and how the interactions of different organism can create a biodiversity…

    The Middle East -- from Yemen through Iran and India all the way north to Uzbekistan -- houses a variety of endangered species. Dwindling populations of both larger animals like the snow leopard and smaller animals like the Bunn’s short-tailed bandicoot rat are primarily due to habitat fragmentation and destruction. Habitat conservation and awareness are imperative in preventing these endangered species from becoming extinct.…
