The Kangaroo Rat is a herbivore. The Kangaroo Rat is preyed by the Sandy Rat. This rat is very large and is a carnivore. Eventually, the Sandy Rat leaves droppings of the Kangaroo Rat and bacteria and worms decompose the droppings. This returns nutrients back into the soil for the Dragon Tree. The food chain begins again.
