TOPIC: Why is a decline of large carnivores important? - The roles of large carnivores in the ecosystems They make population of herbivores smaller and thus preserve balance of plants and they also turn grass lands into tundra. They disrupt natural balance of other animals and their natural habitat. That why humans kill them - Positive and negative impacts on the presence and the absence of large carnivores‚ respectively Positive impact on the presence is that they keep plants balance

The Great Carnivore It came on great bared‚ tremendous legs. It creaked out in the open‚ a startled beast‚ curling it’s watchmaker’s claws at every step. Each leg dragged behind the next‚ a thousand pounds of white bone‚ sunk in thick ropes of muscle‚ as each of the four legs stamped the cold dirt-filled ground. Each thigh shook as the beast walked‚ even at the slowest pace. And above the legs a giant food incinerator hidden by it’s bare skin dangled with extra weight‚ while the head slowly dropped

Grass --> Deer -->Lion (Producer) (Herbivore) (Carnivore) This food chain tells us that grass is the starting point of this food chain. The grass is eaten up by deer and the deer is then eaten up by a lion. In this food chain‚ grass is the producer organism which uses sunlight energy to prepare food like carbohydrates by the process of photosynthesis. This grass is then consumed by a herbivore called deer. And the deer is consumed by a carnivore called lion. The above food chain can be represented

high rates of predation and humans could have lead to the extinction. Both carnivores and humans caused the extinction‚ because both were competing for prey which lead to a lower percentage of megafauna. Methods Section: The evidence used in this data comes from tusk growth rates‚ they also used tusk growth rates to figure out the age of maturation of mastodons.

humans are meant to eat meat‚ the people who were raised on eating meat who know nothing else‚ and the people who believe being a vegan would be too expensive. A meat eater’s common defense in eating meat is that they believe that humans are carnivores. This belief is false. A barrage of evidence that Humans are herbivores‚ meaning that meat should not be a part of the human diet‚ may change these people’s minds. Science shows that humans are meant to be herbivores.

------------------------------------------------- Food web From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A freshwater aquatic and terrestrial food web. A food web (or food cycle) depicts feeding connections (what eats what) in an ecological communityand hence is also referred to as a consumer-resource system. Ecologists can broadly lump all life forms into one of two categories called trophic levels: 1) the autotrophs‚ and 2) the heterotrophs. To maintaintheir bodies‚ grow‚ develop‚ and to reproduce

ones. They must rely on an inorganic source of carbon that has originated as part of another living organism. Heterotrophs depend directly or indirectly on autotrophs for nutrients and energy. Some categories of heterotrophs include herbivores‚ carnivores‚ omnivores‚ and scavengers. Herbivores eat autotrophs‚ such as plants and grass. There are several different types of herbivores varying from insects to mammals.
