Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) are tall canopy trees that make up a large portion of the Amazon rain forest. They produce large grapefruit-sized seedpods. The agouti, a ground-dwelling rodent, has teeth strong enough to open the tough seedpods. While the agouti eats some of the tree’s seeds, it also buries caches in various spots on the rain forest floor. Why is the agouti important to the rain forest ecosystem? a) It eats and disperses the trees’ seeds. b) It cleans the rain forest floor of debris, allowing for easier motility. c) It eats the trees’ excess seeds and prevents other animals from doing so. d) It prevents the trees’ seeds from rotting on the rain forest floor.
