Niches In The Savannah Ecosystem

The video explains how different species, such as giraffes and gazelles, coexist in the same habitat by occupying distinct niches, avoiding direct competition for resources. Dung beetles play a crucial role by recycling nutrients through the burial of feces, which fertilizes plants that feed other animals. This interdependence highlights the balance and roles each organism plays in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

Why can giraffes and gazelles live together in the same habitat?

• They eat the same plants.

• They occupy different niches.

• They are in direct competition.

• They avoid each other.

What is the primary role of dung beetles in the ecosystem?

• Providing food for predators

• Pollinating plants

• Burying and consuming animal feces

• Competing with other insects

How do dung beetles contribute to plant growth?

• By providing shade

• By eating harmful insects

• By fertilizing the soil with buried dung

• By pollinating flowers

What is the significance of each organism fulfilling its niche in an ecosystem?

• It leads to overpopulation.

• It results in habitat destruction.

• It causes resource depletion.

• It helps maintain ecological balance.

How does the interaction between different species support coexistence in an ecosystem?

• By creating ecological balance

• By reducing resource availability

• By isolating species

• By increasing competition
