Zebras are grazers, often feedings along with wildebeest. Wildebeest prefer to feed of the shorter grasses whereas zebra prefer the longer grasses. After the zebra has chewed off the long grass tufts, the wildebeest will often follow after the zebra to chew off the shorter tufts left behind.
The leopard is one of the most adaptable predators in Africa. They are able to survive in many different types of habitats, taking preference to savannah, woodland, riverine vegetation and mountainous regions. They can also be found living close to human settlements where domestic animals become a source of prey. Of all predators, the leopard is the most likely to become a man-eater as many of them have established territories close to human settlements, resulting in regular encounters with people.
As humans continue encroaching on wild animals’ territories, we see steady declines in their population numbers. Here we see a way that animal science organizations are trying to keep some species from becoming extinct.
The United States has a diverse ecosystem that allows for many species of plants and flowers to grow. The native flowers of the United States vary in location as well as color and shape. Some of these flowers can grow in extreme climates while others need specialized moderate climates to live. Most of these plants just bear beautiful flowers while others, like the prickly pear cactus, bear fruit. All of them can be found growing wild in the United States.
