The ecological study

  1. .Grass(producer) Antelope(secondary comsumer,herbivore)

  Lion (tertiary comsumer, carnivore)

 2. There are many animals. Here is the list of the carnivores in the movie: elephant, monkey, giraffe,fish,ostrich,hippotamus,rhino,mole,zebra,mouse,deer,grasshopper.Here is the list of the Herbivores in the movie: lion, alligator, South African anteater.

3. The 3 biotic factors are insects (bugs, worms), fishes, and lions. Another 3 abiotic factors are river, desert, and soil

4. The first biome is the dessert. That dessert can be the Sahara desert where the temperature in the desert changes dramatically every day.  The temperature in the daytime can reach 45 °C/113 °F or higher in the summer, and dip to 0 °C/32°F or lower in the winter. The place also receives almost no precipitation, for example: rain. The water is vaporized even before they managed to reach the ground. Although there may be some oasis, where water from underground is kept in pools or puddles, these are usually located randomly and there are not many of them out there in the desert. An example of this biome is Sahara desert, one of the largest deserts that occupied 1/3 of Earth’s surfaces

    The second biome is the floodplain. As of its names, floodplain refers to a flat or almost flat land that is positioned near to a river. There exists periodic or occasional flooding where a large area is cover by water but there is no strong current that is in the river. These floodplain are formed by meander and they are mainly made of unconsolidated sediments, the stream sand, gravel, loam, silt, and/or clay, and are often important aquifers There is water almost everywhere which makes it an ideal home to many herbivores as trees depend mainly on water and soil nutrient. Thus it attracts opportunistic predator such as bird, snakes, to move in and enrich the ecosystem there.

     The third biome is savanna. It is a grassland ecosystem where trees does not stay closely to each other thus allow the Sun to reach the ground level, encouraging the growth of grass and many plants that are short and small. The scarcity of trees often is caused by the lack of water which is true because the rainfall is seasonal. Most of the rainfalls fall into one or several months of a season. In the summer the temperature ranges from 78° to 86° F (25° - 30° C). In a Savanna the temperature does not change a lot. When it does, it is very gradual and not drastic. Animals that inhabit savannahs are usually mammals, herbivores in exact, such as rhino, giraffes, elephants and carnivores such as lions, cheetahs, leopards….The ecosystem can be divertive but it all mainly depends on the amount of water that is available.

5. A) Biotic means relating to, produced by, or caused by living organisms.

    b) Abiotic are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment that can impact evolution. The components from living things that are no longer living can be considered part of the biotic or abiotic component. Generally, things that were once living are considered part of the biotic component, but body waste such as feces; urine (and carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water from respiration) are considered abiotic because those components were never living in an organism.

    d) Flora refers to all plant life occurring in an area or time period, especially the naturally occurring or indigenous plant life.

    e) Fauna is all of the animal life of any particular region or time

    f) Biological environment is the environment where life forms can exist. Sum total of      environment where life forms exist is called the biosphere. In includes a portion of land, water, and air. 

    g) Biome are climatically and geographically defined areas of ecologically similar climatic conditions such as communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms, and are often referred to as ecosystems.

   h) Extinction is the end of an organism or group ...
