Seed dispersal (as well as a position in the food chain, and essential for the maintenance of the agouti population!)

Could you be more specific about the seed dispersal part please?

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Hard - shelled tree seeds including Brazil nuts; they are able to open up the seed pods to release the seeds. Obviously the trees producing the seeds are also a key component of many food chains.

Ahem, maybe I risk to be wrong as well but I have to say: Objection!

The top predator (if you count blood too and not only flesh) IN ALL OF THE LISTED REGION is the Anopheles mosquito....
However, if you do not accept the term "predator" for that invertebrate species then at least for the Asian region the Tiger tops the Leopard.

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

I did think of Tiger afterwards, but had already been given the green light! In my defence, my Asian experience is in Borneo where there are no Tigers.
