Food Web of the Giraffe
Food Web Explained The sun gives energy to 3 main producers ( Acacia tree, grass and leaves) The giraffe eats all of the producers the gazelle only eats grass Then gazelles are eaten by hyenas Lions eat the giraffe,hyena, and sometimes gazelles Finally worms decompose everything and restart the cycle Thin green lines show energy to the producersThin blue lines shows energy to the decomposer Arrows show the relationships between predator and prey Bacteria are also decomposers but worms are the main decomposers https://legacy.etap.org/demo/grade6_science/lesson5/instruction2tutor.html
The Problem There was 140k giraffes in 1999 Now there are 80k The population has shrunk 40 percent in the last 30 years The problem is from poachers Poachers mainly kill for the fur for a profitHumans taking land and foodHumans want to build their own houses Humans use resources that giraffes also need Humans use acacia trees for homes and construction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOQgCXf9OWg
What Would Happen if Giraffes Go Extinct? Grass would grow everywhereIt´s very hard to find giraffe population Tigers will die off And everything that eat tigers eat will die off Other food webs will be affectedHumans will lose resources from other animalsResources that animals need will be affected Tigers would not sustain life because they would have a low amount of food sources http://www.africa-wildlife-detective.com/giraffe.html
