Document Summary

They ingest the seeds and once they defecate, the seeds come out with their waste products. Sometimes, the seeds need to go through digestive system to grow. Where is the earth surface movement fastest? equator. Tropics, dry and moist areas are starting to become populated. Yeah she said islands, maybe for non-urban because they"re isolated so no outside contact. Physiological state they go through that allows them to lower their metabolism to be able to survive in the cold. Have to remember where they"ve stored their food when they go into torpor- because their biomes have low food supply. Torpor: self-induced hypothermia that only lasts for a few hours. Not sure but the definition of torpor is that it generally only lasts for a few hours. Yeah, i was going to write that in as well but figured with chickadees it might not make sense, idk :/
