Predator & Prey (Print)
A mountain cottontail (Sylvilagus nuttallii) grooms while perched atop the skull of a common predator, the cougar (Puma concolor). The skull of a great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is nearby, a frequent hunter of smaller young rabbits. The grass behind, Indian ricegrass (Oryzopsis hymenoides), is one of many species of grass the mountain cottontail relies on for food. These cottontails will also eat wildflowers, including several species of clover. Longstalk clover (Trifolium longipes) (illustrated) is one of many species of clovers that is frequently pollinated by the Western tiger swallowtail (Papilio rutulus). This piece explores the way in which every species within an ecosystem plays an important role and no single species is above relying on other species of flora and fauna for survival.
