 SUBJECT: Mammals & Forests Web of Life |
| Living things in the forest are linked through their food. For example,
a bobcat, a squirrel and a plant are linked because the squirrel eats
the plant and the bobcat then eats the squirrel. These links are called
food chains.
Several food chains joined
together are called food webs.
Since a mammal rarely eats just one food, a food web is a better way of understanding how connected all the things in the forest are to each other - plants, mammals, birds, trees and insects. Click on the numbers below to learn more about this food web!
