---Rhinos are mega- herbivores, their job is to carve out paths for other creatures (eating), make water holes (digging),and to help germinate plants (defecating).
-Research indicates areas with higher rhino population had 20 times more grazing areas. These areas supply food not just for rhinos, but for zebra, gazelle and antelope.]]> 2018-08-17 14:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/devanthomas/4zt4y9gegymd/wish/273721909 why this ecosystem is so important to humans? devanthomas https://padlet.com/devanthomas/4zt4y9gegymd/wish/273722714 No rhino=no tourists=no tourism jobs=poorer economy]]> 2018-08-17 14:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/devanthomas/4zt4y9gegymd/wish/273722714 name of organism/where found devanthomas https://padlet.com/devanthomas/4zt4y9gegymd/wish/273722781 Black Rhino
