ANIMAL RELATIONSHIPS

By: Jonathan Larson

Forest Relationships Mutualism- Both animals benefit. A leaf cutter Ant lives underground and it

helps fungus. A bee and a flower. A bee sucks the

nectar out which lets the flower live longer and let it reproduce.

A bird and a worm. The bird eats the worm, and the worm gets to reproduce.

Forest Relationships Parasitism- One benefits, other is harmed A leach and a hog. The leach sucks the

blood and the hog loses blood. A Monkey and fleas. The fleas get over

the monkey and just keep growing. A deer and a cheetah. The deer is getting

hunted b the cheetah, and the cheetah won’t stop until it catches the deer as its prey.

Forest Relationships Commensalism- One organism benefits,

other isn’t harmed. A Monkey and fleas. The fleas spread

A hippopotamus and flies. The flies swarm all around the hippo, but the hippo doesn’t care for the flies.

A Flicker and a cactus. The flicker makes a home in the cactus, and the cactus just stays there.

Forest Relationships Scavenger-One organism eats other dead

organisms. A fly eats dead organisms. A Wildebeest kills an organism, then

saves some meat for the next day. A maggot finds a dead organism, lives

inside it and eats all of the fat and nutrients from the body.

Forest Relationships Predator-Prey-One hunts, the other is

hunted A lion and deer. A cheetah and hog A bird and a worm.

Forest Relationships Decomposer-Breaks down dead

organisms. Bacteria Flies Maggots

Forest Relationships Competition- 2 organisms are fighting for

the same thing. 2 lions are fighting for the female lion. A fly brings back a dead fly and dances

around it to see if the mate wants him or not.

2 cheetahs fighting for the same piece of meat.

Rainforest Relationships Mutualism-Both organisms benefit Mosquito and a hippo. Mosquito sucks out

blood and fat, and hippo gets veins cleaned.

Plover fly and crocodile. The plover fly flies into the crocodile’s mouth, and the fl cleans all of the dead meat stuck in the crocodiles teeth.

Leaf cutter ant and fungus. Fungus grows on leaves and ant cleans off leaves.

Rainforest Relationships Parasitism- One organism benefits, other

is harmed. A Gorilla and a monkey. The gorilla will

chase the monkey down, until it captures or kills it.

A Frog and bugs. The frog eats the bugs which make the bug population go down.

A cicadas and trees. The cicadas lay there eggs in the tree and when the eggs hatch, they dig through the trees roots and cut every root.

Rainforest Relationships Commensalism- One benefits, other isn't

harmed An insect lays eggs in the sloth’s waste. A poison dart frog and the virmliliad.

Frogs use leaves as shelter to rain. A Dung beetle and flies. The fly receives

nutrients and shelter from the dung.

Rainforest Relationships Scavenger-Organisms that eat dead

organisms. A vulture eats any dead organisms it can

find. A Locto monkeys will also eat dead

organisms or meat. A Toucan will eat some type of dead

organisms, but not very many.

Rainforest Relationships Predator-prey- Predator hunts, prey gets

hunted. A Panther hunts down other types of

organisms, usually that are smaller. A chameleon will hunt down certain types

of bugs. A jaguar hunts any type of possible

organism.

Rainforest Relationships Decomposer-breaks down dead

organisms A Termites break down dead organisms. Bacteria breaks down dead organisms And even some species of insects break

down dead organism for many reasons.

Rainforest Relationships Competition-when organisms fight over

same desirables. Jaguars will fight for the same mate. Panthers will try to impress the mate to

see who she picks to be her mate. And Monkeys compete for better trees

with more fruit.

Tundra Relationships Mutualism- Both organisms benefit. Penguin fathers watch there babies. Polar bear and arctic fox. Polar bear kills

organism and fox eats meat left after. A Caribou eats shurbs and they spread it

through feces.

Tundra Relationships Parasitism- One organism benefits, other

is harmed. A polar bear and a penguin. The polar

bear stalks the penguin. A Mosquito and a caribou. The mosquito

sucks the blood, and the caribou gets a rash.

A Caribou and tapeworms. The tapeworms have a place to live, but there slowly killing the caribou.

Tundra Relationships Commensalism- One benefits, other

isn't harmed A caribou and arctic fox. The caribou

cleans snow, and the fox has a place to walk.

Polar bear and penguin. Polar bear cleans snow up, and the penguin is able to walk in that line of clean snow.

A caribou and a penguin.

Tundra Relationships Scavenger- eats dead organisms A caribou will eat dead organisms A polar bear will eat some dead

organisms A arctic fox will only eat some type of

dead organisms.

Tundra Relationships Predator-prey-Predator hunts, prey gets

hunted. A caribou and dead organisms. A polar bear and penguins. A Arctic fox and some land animals.

Tundra Relationships Decomposer-Breaks down dead

organisms Bacteria Fungus Termites

Tundra Relationships Competition-fight over desirables 2 caribous fight. 2 polar bears fight for food to survive. 2 penguins fight for a mate.

Saltwater relationships Mutualism-Both organisms benefit A clownfish and sea anemone. A eel and octopus. Octopus kills, and eel

eats some food. A Fungi and algae.

Saltwater relationships Parasitism-One benefits, other is harmed Eel and fish. Eel kills and fish dies. Whale and krill. Krill's die because whale

swallows them whole. Shark and fish.

Saltwater Relationships Commensalism-One benefits, other isn’t

harmed. A Clownfish and a anemone. Clownfish

lives on anemone. And anemone gives shelter and safety to Clownfish.

A Shark and a remora fish. Fish cleans sharks bottom of any diseases.

A Shark and a human. A shark can smell blood from the human, and the person just watches the shark.

Saltwater Relationships Scavenger- eats dead organisms. Dumpster shark Remora Crab Water Beetle

Saltwater Relationships Predator-prey- Predator hunts, prey gets

hunted. Shark and other fish Eel and anything small that swims by its

home. Octopus and larval crabs.

Saltwater Relationships Decomposer-breaks down dead

organisms. Bacteria Plankton Fungus

Saltwater Relationships Competition-Fight over same desirables. Sharks fight over mate. Eels fight for hole or home to live in. Octopus fight over food.

Freshwater Relationships Mutualism-Both benefit Crab and Algae Goby and Shrimp Shrimp and Plankton

Freshwater Relationships Parasitism- One benefits, other is harmed A Fish and Minnesota sea grant A Sea anemone and certain fish A Whale and krill.

Freshwater Relationships Commensalism-One benefits, other isn't

harmed. Clownfish and sea anemone. Shark and baby shark. Octopus and crab.

Freshwater Relationships Scavenger- eats dead organisms. Plankton Shark Whale

Freshwater Relationships Predator-prey- Predator hunts, Prey is

hunted. Shark & dolphins. Whale & Krill Eel & small types of fish.

Freshwater Relationships Decomposer- breaks down dead

organisms. Bacteria Fungus Plankton

Freshwater Relationships Competition- will fight for same

desirables. Sharks will fight for food. Fish will fight for same mate. Eels will fight to see who gets to live in

the cave or hole.

Desert Relationships Mutualism- Both benefit Hawk and a snake Scorpion and a Lizard Flowers and Honey bees

Desert Relationships Parasitism-One benefits, other is harmed Snake and mouse Snake and lizard Scorpion and cricket

Desert Relationships Commensalism- One benefits, other is

not harmed. Holly shrub and bush Snake and scorpion Hawk and a armadilllo

Desert Relationships Scavenger-Eats dead organisms Scorpion Spider Certain types of lizards

Desert Relationships Predator-Prey-Predator hunts, Prey gets

hunted. Snake and rat Scorpion and cricket Hawk and small lizards.

Desert Relationships Decomposer-Breaks down dead

organisms. Termites break down dead organisms. Bacteria Fungus also break down dead organisms.

Desert Relationships Competition- 2 or more organisms

fighting for same desirables. Snakes fight for a home. Scorpions fight for food. Lizards will fight to see who gets to stay

where.
