- The impact from the death of a single tiger at the hands of poachers reaches beyond one single loss. If a female tiger with cubs is killed, her cubs will most likely die without their mother, and the female's potential for future breeding is lost. If a male is killed, his death can result in intense competition for his territory among surviving males in the population, leading to potential injury and death.

- Cacti are sometimes thought of as strictly desert plants, but many species, such as the prickly pear cactus, are found in a number of habitats.
- Seagrasses are not true grasses. They are more closely related to terrestrial lilies and gingers than grasses.🥰
- Seagrasses are very sensitive to water quality and are an indicator of the overall health of coastal ecosystems. Since they produce energy through photosynthesis they do best where the water is clear enough to allow sunlight to penetrate. Pollution, sedimentation, excessive nutrients, storms, disease, and overgrazing by herbivores all pose threats to seagrasses.
- Their leaves and stems also provide food for herbivores like sea turtles and manatees. Plankton, algae, and bacteria grow on seagrass stems, providing food for additional organisms. Dead seagrasses provide food for decomposers like worms, sea cucumbers, crabs, and filter feeders. Seagrasses improve water quality by trapping sediments, absorbing nutrients, and stabilizing sediment with their roots.
- The grasses help lessen the effects of strong currents, and also provide concealment and a place for eggs and larvae to attach. These factors make seagrasses a good nursery area for many fish and invertebrates, including commercially important fish species.
- Seagrasses can reproduce sexually or asexually. They are flowering plants that produce seeds. Pollen is carried through the water to fertilize female flowers. Seagrasses can also send out rhizome roots that can sprout new growth, so a single plant is capable of producing an entire underwater meadow.
- There are 26 species of seagrasses in North American coastal waters. They prefer to grow in shallow, sheltered, soft-bottomed coastal waters—both tropical and temperate.
- Seagrasses are a very important food source and habitat for wildlife, supporting a diverse community of organisms including fish, octopuses, sea turtles, shrimp, blue crabs, oysters, sponges, sea urchins, anemones, clams, and squid. Seagrasses have been called “the lungs of the sea” because they release oxygen into the water through the process of photosynthesis.
- Seagrasses are underwater plants that evolved from land plants. They are like terrestrial plants in that they have leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, and connective tissues, and they make their food through photosynthesis. Unlike terrestrial plants, however, they do not have strong stems to hold themselves up—instead they’re supported by the buoyancy of the water that surrounds them.
- Trees, shrubs, herbs, and grasses are all examples of plant types. A plant can be annual (living for one season), biennial (living for two years), or perennial (living for many years). Diseases, invasive species, and habitat loss are some of the factors posing a threat to plant populations in the United States. Using native plants in gardening and landscaping is a way to help re-establish habitats for local animals—such as the monarch butterfly—and minimize threats from invasive species. Exotic or ornamental plants that aren't native to the United States, and are often planted for decorative elements, do not support wildlife as well as native plants.
- Plants and fungi are naturally organized into communities called biomes. Biomes are large geographic regions defined by climate conditions such as light, temperature, and precipitation. Biomes in North American include the temperate deciduous forests of the northern states, the prairie the Midwest, and the desert of the Southwest.
- Plants are producers, using the energy of the sun to make seeds, cones, and spores to reproduce, while fungi are decomposers that break down decaying matter. Fungi create a fruiting body, the part of the mushroom we see aboveground that release spores to reproduce.
- Plants play a vital role in supporting other wildlife, providing essential elements such as food, water, oxygen, and habitat. Many living things take up residence in or on plants, including birds, mammals, amphibians, and even fungi like mushrooms or molds.
- The root systems of most cacti spread out close to the surface to absorb as much rainwater as possible. Some species are so good at storing water that they can live in drought conditions for several years.😍
- Cacti populations are stable overall. Certain species, however, are declining due to removal from the wild to be used as ornamental plants in xeriscaped lawns (landscaped areas that require little or no irrigation).
- Cacti are slow growers and can live for many years. For example, saguaro cacti can live up to 175 years. They do not grow their first arms until they are between 75 and 100 years old.
- Cacti are flowering plants that produce seeds. They are able to bloom every year, but they will produce an abundance of flowers in response to heavy rains. Flowers differ in appearance and scent to attract specific pollinators, such as insects and bats. 😅
- Almost all genera of cacti arose in the Americas and are distributed from Canada to Chile. They are now found in many parts of the world, especially Australia, South Africa, and Mediterranean countries.
- Cacti vary in size based on their species. Perhaps the smallest cacti species is *Blossfeldia liliputana*, a South American plant that’s less than an inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter when fully grown. The tallest cactus, the Mexican giant cardon, reaches over 60 feet (18 meters).
- To prevent water loss, cacti are covered with a waxy substance called a cuticle. Another way they conserve water is by opening structures called stomata at night, rather than during the day like most plants. Stomata are microscopic pores on the plant through which carbon dioxide enters for photosynthesis.
- There are many different types of spines—some are soft and feathery to protect the plant from intense sunlight, while others are tough and sharp for protection. Cacti may be one of the few sources of water in arid regions, so spines prevent animals from accessing their supply of water.
- The family Cactaceae comprises many species of flowering plants with succulent (water-storing) stems. The presence of a structure called the areole sets cacti apart from all other plants. Areoles give rise to flowers, new branches, and spines.
