Mammals aren’t just cute, they also serve a very important role in our ecosystem. Today we highlight mammal predators and scavengers. Predators and scavengers play an extremely important part of the food chain. Predators help keep prey populations (especially rodents) in balance, while scavengers help clean up the leftovers that other animals leave behind.
