Top Level Heading . | Questions . |
---|---|
General | Species (We provided the common and scientific name of the species.) |
Taxonomy post-Rodentia (suborder, family, subfamily, genus) | |
What does it eat? | General group: carnivore, herbivore, omnivore |
How does it eat? (hunter, ambush predator, scavenger, herbivore) | |
Specifically, what does it eat, and indicate amount of force needed. e.g., nuts, need large forces; or insects, small forces needed; or large mammals, small forces needed but need tearing action | |
Does it store food or eat its food immediately? | |
Does it eat continuously or gorge occasionally? | |
What eats it? | Relative size of predators (smaller, larger, same) |
How does the predator hunt it? (aerial, stalker/sit and wait, surface chaser, can descend to burrow, can climb trees) | |
Does the type of predator shift as this species ages/matures? | |
Temporal Activity | What time of day is it active? Time of year? Does it hibernate? |
Social | Is it social or solitary? If social, does it live with family groups or groups of non-relatives? (This may indicate the amount of aggressive interactions it engages in regularly.) |
Location | What is its biogeographic range? |
Does it migrate? If so, to where and when? | |
Movement | Typically, is it moving quickly or slowly? |
Does it have any movements that might require power/force, and if so, what movements? | |
Reproduction | Does it have one or multiple reproductive episodes in its life? |
What is the typical clutch size; i.e., how many babies per reproductive episode? | |
Other | Any other special adaptations? |
