“When a pine needle falls in the forest, the eagle sees it, the deer hears it, and the bear smells it.” (Unknown)
As herbivores, ungulates play a vital role in shaping vegetation and promoting plant diversity. Their grazing patterns help prevent overgrowth, and create habitats for various other species. Ungulates are also essential prey for many large predators, contributing to the balance of the food web. Their migration patterns and foraging behavior can influence nutrient cycling and soil health. From deer and elk to bison and antelope, ungulates support biodiversity and the overall health of their ecosystems.
