Predator and Prey


This is a red robin. I found it flying around in my neighborhood. This robin is an example of prey and predator because it is both. It is a prey because a wolf, an alligator, and a snake can all attack and eat a robin. This robin can be a predator too because it can eat worms and bugs.

Abiotic Limiting Factor


This abiotic limiting factor is a heart shaped rock but it's also surrounded by grass which is biotic. I found it in my community. The rock is a limiting factor because it is effecting the grass by squishing it and rocks just take up space. Also, if the rock doesn't get moved by somebody, then the patch of grass that it is lying on won't get sunlight. If the grass doesn't get sunlight then it will die. The rock is abiotic because it is not living.
