The Great Blue Heron is a carnivorous bird that can be found in Louisiana’s wetlands. They are expert fishers. Herons trap their prey by walking slowly or standing still for long periods of time. They wait for fish to come within range of their long necks and blade-like bills. Their diets also consist of mice, insects, and other small creatures. The Great Blue Heron depends on the living components of its ecosystem and nonliving components like sunlight and air for growth and survival.

The Australian ecosystem has open spaces with hills covered with plants, such as grass and trees. One animal in this ecosystem is the kangaroo, which is an herbivore.  Kangaroos are large marsupials found only in Australia.

British settlers began colonizing Australia in the late 1700s. In 1859, 24 European rabbits were brought to Australia to make new British settlers feel more at home.  The feral, or wild rabbits which grew strong and reproduced rapidly, competed with the kangaroos for food and damaged the ecosystem. 

 In 1950, with approximately 600 million rabbits in Australia, scientists decided to try to lower the number of rabbits by releasing a disease into their environment. The disease killed many of the rabbits, but the dead rabbits created additional problems for the environment. Although there were many dead rabbits, eventually decomposers cleaned them up.

Which TWO ways do European rabbits and kangaroos interact with the Australian environment? 

a)

Rabbits and kangaroos obtain air and water from the environment.

b)

Rabbits and kangaroos interact with the Australian environment by providing food for plants

c)

Rabbits and kangaroos get energy from eating other animals.

d)

Rabbits and kangaroos meet their needs in their environment by eating plants for food.
