It's used as a warning - to let animals (and people) know they're venomous.
The pig-like South American mammal you may be referring to is the peccary. Peccaries are hoofed mammals found in Central and South America, known for their pig-like appearance and behavior. They typically live in herds and are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of vegetation and small animals.
Giraffes are social animals and are not territorial. They travel in large, unorganized herds. The herds consist of any variations of sexes and ages.
the animals that live in herds are giraffes,zebras,horses,sheep,cows(cattle),goatsand any other mammals like these
It is thought that rattlesnakes began developing the rattle during the ancient America past when the continent was inhabited by herds of large hoofed mammals. The rattle served as a warning of the snake's presence so they would not be trampled upon. They only rattle when they detect a possible threat approaching.
yes they can. they actually used to live without humans in herds, until they were domesticated by humans and used for traveling purposes. there are still about 25,000 wild herds of horses.
The rattlesnake uses the tail to warn animals of their presence. It is thought that the rattle evolved during the time when North America was inhabited by huge herds of large hoofed mammals which posed a threat of the snake being trampled. The rattle serves to notify any animal that they should probably alter their route of travel to prevent an incident that could prove fatal to both snake and mammal.
yes they do because sheep are mammals and they travel in herds so sheep will have to feed their young and protect their young
The rattle is used as a warning. Most animals are afraid of something they don't understand. The noise the rattle makes is not a 'normal' noise - most animals are startled by the noise, and leave the snake alone.
call me crazy but I have always been under the impression that fish travel in schools and herds are reserved for mammals on the ground ..........just a thought
Yellowstone is famous for its ungulates (hoofed mammals) that thrive in all parts of the park. Bison, elk and bighorn sheep tend to stay together in loose herds, sometimes in the hundreds. Moose and mule deer are more solitary, while white-tailed deer and mountain goat are rare. With the exception of elk, most ungulates migrate less than 50 miles from their winter to summer locations.
