A mountain lion temporarily leaves its usual hunting territory to drink from a farm pond due to a change in an abiotic factor in its environment.
- An ecosystem is composed of two major components, biotic or living components and abiotic or nonliving components.
- Biotic factors include animals, plants, decomposers, etc., whereas abiotic factors include air, water, sunlight, rainfall, soil, etc.
- Abiotic factors are often limiting factors that restrict the survival of a population, thereby individuals (in this case, the mountain lion) eventually migrate to other areas to find available resources (i.e., water).
In conclusion, a mountain lion temporarily leaves its usual hunting territory to drink from a farm pond due to a change in an abiotic factor in its environment.
