Question

Wild animals like tigers, wolves, lions, and leopards do not eat plants. Does this mean that they can survive without plants? Can you provide a suitable explanation?

Answer 1

Importance of producers:

1. Plants are the only producers and primary sources of energy.
2. Instead of eating vegetation, wild creatures like tigers, wolves, lions, and leopards hunt mammals like goats, deer, giraffes, etc.
3. These animals like goats, deer, giraffes, etc. depend on plants for the source of food and energy.
4. In the absence of plants, herbivores cannot survive, and thus tigers, wolves, lions, and a leopard will not have anything to eat, hence they will also not survive.
5. But depending on the environment and challenging conditions these animals can modify their eating habits.
6. Wild creatures like wolves, lions, leopards, and tigers do not consume plants. They depend on herbivorous animals which means they cannot survive without plants because herbivores cannot survive without plants.
