but they do get eaten by big cats and such...probably there for them more than us, we just decided to get in on the action. Whats amazing, I was watching a programme the other day, and due to volcanoes in this certain area, the resulting ash fall makes it hard for trees and shrubs to grow through the ash piles left on the ground, but due to the ashes high level of nutrients, it's perfect for grass to grow, and as such it has created massive plains of grass for grass feeding animals to roam on. How cool (or hot) is that!!!
