Free Journaling I have noticed that all types of species in Manoa Stream always travel in a group. It is very rare to see an organism hunting in a certain area or traveling to a certain place as an individual. For instance, i have observed that the ducks in manoa stream will always hunt in at least a group of three. I have yet to see a group of ducks that have 2 or less ducks consisting the group. Same concept goes with the fishes. Where the algae is bountiful All the fishes come to eat. I have observed certain areas where there are plenty and little fishes but the concept is still the same. Many kinds of organisms travel in groups. Why? I can only make a hypothesis. Organisms travel in groups because they stand more of a chance to a predator. The larger the group is the bigger the chance that the predator will not kill you or that the predator will just be frightened of the amou t of prey in your group.

Assigned journal In oour natural habitiat, Manoa Stream there are plenty of competition. Ducks fight for their favorite hunting spot and love relationships and the right to mate a certain duck. Tadpoles fight for good and rich waters that contain algae so that they can eat and eat to turn into a frog as fast as it can. There are definitely predator-prey relationships and from the ducks and the fish and the tadpoles. Who knows maybe even a type of dog or cat comes down here at night eats the ducks. All i know is that there are of course many predators that prey on the ducks and that it is not impossible for a predator to be preying on the ducks at manoa stream.
