Their ecosystem includes the habitats of many other species, like pumas and raccoons. It also includes non ...

What to do about beavers!?!

The deeper water created by these dams provides habitat for other animals, including fish, waterfowl, rep ...

Background Information – Rangeland Animals

A great majority (84%) of mammals found in North America spend at least a portion of their life in rangeland ecosystems. Large grazing animals such as bison, elk, pronghorn, and deer are perhaps the most iconic ...

Herbivore
_grazing_-_20050809.jpg?width=300)
A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage, for the main component of its diet. As a result of their plant diet, herbivorous animals typically have mouthparts adapted to rasping or grinding. Horses and other herbivores have wide flat teeth that are adapted to grinding grass, tree bark, and other tough plant material.
