c) __Producers__   Scraps, fruit seeds and plants    __ Omnivores  __   Insects, earthworm, frog and tadpoles   __ Herbivores __   Blue tongue lizard, fat tailed dunnart and kookaburra   __ Carnivores  __   Cator fox, kookaburra and snake.    h) Snake, cator fox, and kookaburra i) Decrease    J) The things that would happen predator won’t find any food and will extinct k) Bacteria, earth worm.   l) Striped legless lizard decreased they are 35 in there species m) a species brought from another country; not native. No, there are none in my ecosystem   n) Biological control is reducing the number of problematic plants and animals by using other animals. E.g. cats control the growth of rats and mice. Conclusion: The plants and animals I found in the Iramoo Grassland area were: Southern Brown Bandicoot, Growling Grass Frog, Plains Wanderer, Golden Sun Moth, Striped Legless Lizard, Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Grassland Earless Dragon, Wallaby, Wombat, Koala, Kangaroo Bibliography: [], [] , [] , [] By Kate Armstrong 8A
