True/False
Food for thought
- Some fish eat plants. Others eat insects and worms. Bigger fish eat smaller fish. Discuss the various roles that different fish might play in a freshwater ecosystem.
- Without plants, algae and other producers in an ecosystem, how would the population of predators like alligators or wading birds be effected?
- In this video, we see several birds with different shaped bills. Each bill is shaped so that it functions in a different way when catching fish. This is what is called specialization. See if you can identify some of these specializations, and how they are used by the particular animal.
