zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Answer 1

What else , its the balance of nature which is playing it part , so you just stare at it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

You do nothing.  Otherwise you are interfering with a natural process.

Answer 3

is there anyway to separate the two?  i would replant the plant into a safer area, maybe a greenhouse.  or u could fence off around the plant if u don't want to up-root it!

good luck.

Answer 4

Make sure nobody is watching, then shoot the animal, uproot the plant, and make soup.

Answer 5

Give the endangered animal something to eat which it likes other than the endangered plant.  Hope my idea works.

Answer 6

Once the animal is done eating the plant and then kill the animal.

Answer 7

gently shoo away the animal and offer it some other type of food.

Answer 8

collect some of that plants' seeds and see if you can produce a hybrid that would grow effectively and produce more saplings. or grow the plant in lab gardens and replant a few in the natural habitat when a good number of them is produced

Answer 9

funny its too ironic to happen lol thats why you should just turn your back

Answer 10

Its funny you ahould ask this...I saw a show on television a while back that had information on certain threatened plants.

It was really interesting what I saw.  There is this tree on some medium size island that is going extinct because long ago peole visited the island and sadly killed all of the native wildlife on the whole island including large dodo like birds and giant tortoises. The mature trees on this island that are now thought to be over a thousand years old will soon be gone forever because the only way the land could be replenished with with its saplings was that the seed had to pass through one of the specific animals intestines and into their p**p to be firtilized, most likely the tortoise scientists believe. But because these torts are no longer in existance the tree will eventually grow too old and die and be forever gone form this world. Its a shame cause these trees are soooo cool looking..cant remember the name of them or the island where they currently live.  

Also in another case.  Fig trees in south america can only be  firtilized by a certain wasp, if this wasp is gone, the trees will die and go extinct.  So to give an answer to you question.  If this endangered animal is only eating an endangered plant, it is most likely meant to and will spread seeds in its p**p.  This plant may need this animal to survive and trive.  Do you know what kind of animal and what plant it is? That may be more help if you do.  I wouldnt hurt any of them, they are doing what they are supposed to do, it is nature.

Good luck and I hope I helped.

Answer 11

Allow the animal to continue to eat the plant, but work very hard at finding new and fast ways to grow the plant faster than than the animal eats it. You can try new, creative and innovative things with plants, but you not so much with plants. If this doesn't work, you should let nature take its course and not intervene. Animals problems are due largely in part to human intervention. I'd work on the plants first.

Answer 12

shoo away that animal after its gone uproot naa build a fence around it .so plant is protected.animal yeah.

Answer 13

give the endangered animal something else to eat

Answer 14

Call to animal control and tell them to take away the animal

Answer 15

i wudn't interfere. nature has its own cures. v trouble things up wid our 'concerned interferences'. live n let live.......plzzzzzzzz

Answer 16

Read Corie S. response, it is correct.

Answer 17

The environment is containing food chain for eg:humans depend on omnivores animals depend to plants and plants depend 2 air,water and soil all for food. so there's nothin 2 fear of......!  if the endangered animal is eating an endangered plant so there is some chance for the plant 2 grow...!

Answer 18

If you have time to mess with these two items you may have too much time on your hands.

Answer 19

give it something else to eat. cover the plant with something

Answer 20

save the plant first, as the animal can be saved by artificial methods of feeding

Answer 21

Butt out and let nature take its course.

Answer 22

Sit back and appreciate The Big Guy's twisted sense of humor.

Also, you must hum or sing "Circle of Life".

Answer 23

Intresting! well have the animal find something else to eat!

Answer 24

let nature take its course

Answer 25

I bet this is for your school work! When an endangered animal eats the plant it is not doing any harm because it is natural to that environment and its instincts tell it to eat the plant. Because the plant is endangered and scarce it is is probably the cause of the endangerment of the animal. What to do is remove the cause of the endangerment of the plant. Then the animal and plant will no longer be endangered.

Answer 26

Live and let live

Answer 27

You see, Da environment is containing a food chain,for eg.humans depend on omnivores,animals depend on plants, n plants depend on sunlight,all just for food.So there's nothing to fear of, cuz animals spit off da waste part n dere's some chance of dat part of growing.If god wils i wud surely grow.

Answer 28

Call in the politicians they will turn it into a victory~~

Answer 29

Act responsibly and give it a ticket to appear in court and when it does defend its God given right to feed on what is natural to its own environment then to complete the food chain eat it in court so you can be endangered too.

Answer 30

Quick action for preservation and getting good number of copies of the animal and the plant  as far as one can do .

Answer 31

In view of your clarification that the endangered animal doesn't eat anything else except the endangered plant, we need to quickly clone and multiply the plant so that it is abundantly available. And we should also preserve the animal through cryopreservation so that it can be cloned in future if needed.
