What's their Niche

Rabbits support the predators diets.

Their digging and grazing controls the growth of plants

They decompose organic dead organisms back into organic compounds, and return them to the soil allowing nutrient cycles to continue.

Mini Lop Slime Mold

Defense mechanisms

Sharp nail claws Sharp back feet They use their
