Nature’s Recyclers: I Wonder

10/18/2017 I Wonder Reflection

What happens to the little pieces of dead plants and animals that scavengers leave behind?

the animal gets eaten by termites. or it decomposes. or some other animal eats it.

What happens to the scavengers’ droppings?

the dung beetles roll them into balls and roll them away. Some bury the ball before laying an egg in it. when larvae hatch from the eggs, they feed on the dung ball.

What happens to the scavengers’ bodies when they die?

they start decomposing to nothing. other scavengers feed on the dead body of the scavenger.(kind of confusing) then the process starts again.
