idk what animal that is (im sorry) eating grass

Answer 21

anyways from the pic i see it eating grass but there is no arrow showing towards the grass

Answer 23

The answer we hv is correct though, but its weird (the pic)

Answer 24

thats why i posted the question its soooo weird >.<

Answer 25

yeah that's what im thinking

Answer 26

Wait..the pic is correct

Answer 27

It shows that mushrooms (fungi) decompose the dead jaguar

Answer 28

so that means ??????

Answer 29

alright if we just look at this question without considering its weirdness then
population of jaguar and alligator will decrease leading to increase of population of the animal that is eating grass
so that means even if the rabbit is gone and we thing that there will be more grass, its wrong, since that animal eating grass will be more in number thus there will not be much difference in grass amount

Answer 30

and alligators too

Answer 31

as well as population of those decomposers will slightly decrease

so better to say
there will be more grass
