Species: Galapagos penguin
From: Equator (South America) rocky areas along the coast.
Diet: carnivore; small fish, sardines, mullets
predator or prey: predator
competition: human introduced cats and rats and they now compete for space.
additional info: grow up to be 19
inches and weigh 5.5 pounds.
If the Galapagos penguin population would be completely removed then the mullet and sardine population would increase. The cats and rats would also increase because they have more space to live.
If a competitor in the ecosystem then the penguins population would decrease even more than it already is.
The Galapagos Penguins are endangered because of human interaction, poaching, and human introduced rats and cats invade their space. It also is getting tangled up in fishers fish nets.

Serval, large ears and can jump as high to catch a bird
predators are dogs, and humans. Also leopard
Compete with large cats like cheetahs and jaguars for fish reptiles, rodents, and small insects
They are found in Algeria savanna's near oasis for water.
If the species is removed then small rodents will increase, but not significantly because they have more than one predator that hunts them. If the serval has another competitor then since the servals don't breed at high rate their population would decrease. This species is endangered because humans love to hunt and sell their beautiful coats.

A Dhole is a carnivorous wild dog native to Asia and the Middle East.
They are commonly refered to as the red dog, red wolf, mountain wolf, Asiatic dog, Indian wild dog, or whistling dog.
They are a carnivorous species who commonly feed on deer, wild pigs, buffalo, and wild goats. They compete with tigers, themselves, and other species of wild dogs.
Dholes eat very quickly and commonly live in large groups refered to as clans.
The Dhole is currently endangered because of over hunting during the 70's. Many british trophy hunters enjoyed hunting down the dhole, as well as native people killing them to protect livestock. Some Indian villagers went as far as to find dens and club them to death.
If this species was removed many hooves animals would wreak havoc on the native plant life.
An added competitor would further decrease their population because of the scarcity of food due to domestication of many animals.

A steller sea-lion is a carnivore found in Alaska, Canada, Russia, and the north Pacific Ocean. They mainly eat fish, squid, octopus, and sometimes smaller seals. sharks and humans are their main predators. They compete with sharks for sometimes fish and seals. If they were removed from the ecosystem all its prey could possibly over populate. But sharks would have more food and less would die because they will have plenty of food. If they added more competition then they would have less to eat and would starve. They are endangered because humans killed them to get their skin and sharks eat them also.

Dugong

found in eastern Africa to Southern Japan. It is herbivore that eats sea grass. It is a prey and its competition is a Manatee and other sea grass eating animals.

The population could possible become extinct or just decrease the population. The species is endangered because of people hunting for their meat, teeth etc.

species: Asian elephant

location: south/central asia

herbivore

diet consists of plants, grass, twigs, bark, and leaves

prey

competition is human/people

female elephants weigh 5,000 lbs, male elephants weigh over 11,000lbs. not all males have tusks.

If the species was removed from the ecosystem then plants would flourish and some larger predators may loose a food source.

If another competitor was added to the ecosystem then the elephants would have a smaller population.

The species is endangered because people are killing elephants illegally for their ivory.

It's a Carnivore

It's diet consists of Elk,Moose,Bison, and Deer

It's both predator and prey

The grey wolf has Brown Bear as competition but does hunt in a pack to protect their territory

Depending on the wolves location their name changes

A way to increase wolf population is to limit wolf hunting

If the wolf is removed the prey of the wolf will begin growing in numbers and begin eating more plants and carrying capacity will decrease

If a competitor is placed in the environment it'll probably be killed off by (a) wolf pack/packs

Hunting and Trapping has caused the species to become endangered eating more plants and carrying capacity will decrease
