What Does Grazing Mean?
The regular consumption of a part of one organism without killing another organism is known as Grazing. Grazing is very different from predation as the organism is not being killed but eaten slowly. It is very different from the feeding of parasites, the fact is that two organisms don’t stay together for very long; the grazer also has a variety of other options to choose from. Some of the very common examples of grazing in mammals are feeding of through Grasslands. Grazing can also refer to any algae, planktons or Plants that are eaten by insects, birds or reptiles. Some common grazers are; Buffalo, Cattle, Elephants, Rabbits, Sheep, Bison, Horses and Antelopes. The major grazing areas are the Prairie in North America, the Savanna in Africa, the Asian Steppe and the north of Goyder’s Line in Southern Australia.
