Extract: Platypus is threatened by
a number of factors. One threat is that’s is being the lunch of cats and foxes.
In Autralia, vulnerable animals have
weighed a mere 35 grams to 5.5 Kilograms. In the world, are disappearing
large mammals.
Critical appraisal:
First, I’d like to
explain that in Australia, many mammals also
have very few young. In many
places, herbivores such as cattle and sheep, have been reduced plant cover.
Secondly, Woinarski said
that cats and foxes are very efficient hunters and they can also vary their diet depending on prey
availability. When one species is gone , they can switch emerges in a second
new study.
To sum up, controlling
cats and foxes population would be a long problem to protect Autralian’s
mammals. Some of the efforts to reduce the number of foxes have been
success. Some people that are efforts
with cats said that the effort to control feral cats might had unwanted impacts
on pets cats.
