Grasses contain chlorophyl which makes the grass look green. Usually, one blade of grass lives an average of forty days green, and turns brown after a while[see figure 10]. Ninety percent of the weight of the grass is coming from it's roots. There's nutrients in sun and water, and the sun and water turns into energy and that causes photosynthesis to happen so the plants can grow.[see figure 9]

Cougars like to be stealthy when they are hunting, so the prey has less time to react [see figure 3]. Cougars sometimes eat up to twenty pounds of meat at once, usually an elk or a deer. Cougars like to hold their prey with their claws, so it is easier to eat their catch. They have extremely good vision for catching prey at night and day. They can run up to sixty four to eighty kilometers, and they can use this to chase down their prey. A cougar claw can grow up to six point five centimeters to dig into their prey [see figure 4].

Bears use their claws to have good grip on the ground, and this can help them when they're running [see figure 2]. They can use this technique when fishing for fish at a waterfall. Their strong jaws allow them to bite through the tough meat of their prey [see figure 1]. Their good reflexes help them in the case that they accidentally slip off the waterfall. Bears like to chase down their prey with speed, agility and stealth.

Deers have great sense of smell, so they can find food. Deers diets depend on where is their habitat or the seasons. They use camouflage, so they can hide from their predators and so it is harder for the predators to see them [see figure 7]. For deers it is harder to see a single point, for their eyes can only look at a three hundred ten degree view. They have thirty four teeth to chew on grass, and also they have strong teeth so they can chew on harder stuff like acorns and nuts[see figure 8]. Deers have really strong muscles in legs and even ears, for they can turn their ears any direction they want it to turn so they can hear for predators.

Bobcats are kinda like cougars they like to hunt with stealth [see figure 5].

They can jump as high as fifteen feet, so they can pounce on their prey or jump into a tree just in case[see figure 6]. Bobcats like to attack their prey much bigger then them, so they can get more meat to eat. They like to hunt at dawn and dusk, so it's easier to catch their prey cause it's darker and it is harder for the prey to see.
