Animal Relationships

1. Animal Relationships By Ryan Schoenthaler

2. Forests • The forest is a very diverse and interesting area. It has many different relationships and spreads along thousands of mile on earth.

3. Mutualism • Mutualism is when both animals benefit. Like bees and flowers, ants living in plant thorns, and the plover bird and the crocodile.

4. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one animal benefits and the other is harmed. Examples are mosquitoes sucking blood, fungi growing on trees, and mistletoe growing on a mangrove.

5. Commensalism • Commensalism is when one animal benefits and the other is un harmed. Some examples are birds living in trees, squirrels living in trees, and mice living in bushes.

6. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals who eat other dead animals. Like a vulture, a raccon, and crows.

7. Predator-prey • Predator prey is when one species eats another species. The predator is the one that eats the prey. Some examples are snakes and frogs, hawks and rats, and bears and deer.

8. Decomposers • Decomposers are things that eat dead animals and put it back into the earth. Some examples are worms, bacteria, and maggots.

9. Competiton • Competition is when animals fight over resources. Some examples are tigers fighting over water, rams fighting for mates, or vultures fighting for food.

10. The Rain Forest • The Rain Forest is the most diverse place on earth. It has thousands or different animals and species.

11. Mutualism • Mutualism is when both animals benefit in the relationship. Capuchin monkeys and flowers have this relationship as well as sloths and algae, and the brazil nut and the agouti.

12. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one benefits and the other is harmed. Some examples of this are fungi and insects, the leaf cutter ant and the parasitic fly, and the parasitic was p and the fig wasp.

13. Commensalism • Commensalism is when one benefits and the other is not bothered. Some examples are antbirds and army ants, mites and sloths, and flower mites and humming birds.

14. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals that eat other dead animals. some animals that do this are army ants, king vultures, and giant millipedes.

15. Predator-prey • Predator prey is when the predator eats its prey. Boa constrictor and lizards, the short tailed fruit bat and insects, and ocelot and agouti.

16. Decomposers • Decomposers and organisms that eat dead organisms and put them back into the earth. Some of the organisms that do that are bacteria, worms, and maggots.

17. Competition • Competition is when animals fight for resources. Animals that do that are plants fighting for sunlight, monkeys fighting for trees with the most fruit, and jaguars competing for food.

18. Tundra • The tundra is a cold area with very little tree growth and growth is limited to small bushes and grass.

19. Mutualism • Mutualism is when both animals benefit. Animals like lichens and fungi.

20. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one animal is harmed and the other benefits. Some examples are the tape worm and the caribou, tape worms and wolves, and tape worms and moose.

21. Commensalism • Commensalism is when one animals benefits and the other isn't bothered. Some relationships that are like that are hydroids living on hermit crab shells, barnecles on whales, and flat worms and horse shoe crabs.

22. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals that eat other dead animals. Some animals that do this in the tundra are arctic foxes.

23. Predator Prey • A Predator prey relationship is when one animal eats the other. Examples are wolves and caribous.

24. Decomposers • Decomposers are animals that eat dead animals and put them back into the earth. Arctic mushrooms decompose animals in the tundra.

25. Competition • Competition is when two or more animals fight over the same resources. Some animals that do that are arctic foxes fighting for food.

26. Salt Water • Salt water biomes are groups of water surrounding land masses.

27. Mutualsim • Mutualism is when both animals benefit from the relationship. The clown fish and the sea anemone show a good example of this.

28. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one animal is harmed and the other benefits. Flat worms and the sun fish are examples in the oceans

29. Commensalism • Commensalism is when one animal benefits and the other is not affected. Whales have a commensalism relationship with barnacles.

30. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals that eat other dead animals. Sharks, lobsters, and crabs are all scavengers.

31. Predator Prey • Preadator Prey relationships are when one animals eats another. Orcas and cod are one example of this relationship.

32. Decomposers • Decomposers are animals that eat other dead animals and put them back into the earth. Some decomposers are marine worms and bacteria.

33. Competition • Competition is when two or more animals fight over resources. The Asian pink salmon and the Alaskan sockeye salmon.

34. Fresh Water • Fresh water is water found inland and has no salt in it.

35. Mutualsim • Mutualism is when both animals benefit in the relationship. the plover bid and the crocodile show this relationship.

36. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one animal benefits and the other is harmed. Nematodes and the ichthyobodo are examples of parasitism.

37. Commensalim • Commensalism is when one animal benefits and the other is not affected. Mangrove trees and oysters use a commensalism relationship.

38. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals that eat other dead animals. Some animals that do this are piranhas.

39. Predator Prey • Predator Prey relationships are when one animal eats another. One predator prey relationship is the river muskrat and the brown bass.

40. Decomposer • Decomposers are creatures that eat other dead animals and put them back into the earth. An example of this is bacteria.

41. Competition • Competition is when two or more animals fight over the same resources. An example of this is fish fighting over food.

42. Desert • The desert is the driest biome. Its extremely hot and dry and not a lot of different species can survive there.

43. Mutualsim • Mutualism is when both animals in a relationship benefit. Bees pollinating flowers is a good example of this.

44. Parasitism • Parasitism is when one animal benefits from the relationship and the other is harmed. An example of this is the desert mistletoe and the ironwood tree.

45. commensalism • When one animal benefits and the other is unharmed. One example of this is the cactus wren and the saguaro cactus.

46. Scavenger • Scavengers are animals that eat other dead animals. Vultures are scavengers in the desert.

47. Predator Prey • Predator Prey relationship is when one animal eats another. An example of this would be owls and rats.

48. Decomposers • Decomposers are animals that eat other dead animals and return the into the earth. Worms and bacteria do this.

49. Competition • Competition is when two or more animals fight over the same resources. One example of this is coyotes over prey.
