Questions from Andrea D. (HMS 1st pd.)
Are there any other species endangered or threatened because of the decease in the Grevy's zebra population? How has this decline impacted the food web?
Andrea,
Our group wasn't told about any other species that were in trouble because of the Grevy's decline. I would guess that if the Grevy's disappeared from certain areas, the predators that fed on the Grevy's would have to find other food sources or suffer.
If any animal is taken out of the food web the web is impacted. Sometimes we don't see the affects right way but eventually signs show up, especially if the animals left have a difficult time adapting.
