Rabbits, muscrat, beavers, and rats of alien breeds live in the wetland environment on Altiod. They eat grasses and other leafy vegitation that inhabits the moist fertile environment. The animals that prey on these alien rodents are bears, Vampire beatles, carnivorious plants, and especially the most vicious preadator of them all, the Aligatorsnakes. Aligatorsnakes are the rodents most feared enemy because of the incredible amount of rodents consumed by them. The rabbits especially are an Aligatorsnake's easiest and tastiest meal. The rodent's fertility rate is extreemly high due to the bountiful food sorces and the need to reproduce constantly and in large numbers because their high death rate. The alien rabits are the most fertile of the rodents. The rabbits comonly have litters five times a year with 50 rabits in each litter. Because of the Aligatorsnakes's unquenchable appitite for rabits, only 20 rabits live to see their first birthday. Rodents, particularly the rats and beavers get a lot of their food from the leftovers on carcases of deer, bears, and other rodents. The alien rodents on planet Altoid make their homes in the mud banks or old trees.

The loss of the rodents to the wetland ecosystem would have harmfull effects on the envoronment, mainly on the Aligatorsnakes. Aligatorsnakes and bears would loose an important food scource of their diet. Because of the huge number of the rodents and their nutritional value, they are a staple in most of their predator's diet. Because of the many other animals that eat the plants, the extinction of the rodents would not result in an overgroth of the plants. Over millions of years of evolution, the plants on Altoid have developed a keen sense how many of their consumers exist. When the predators of the plants decrease in numbers, the plants knows to grow slower so they do not become out of hand and take more nutrients from the soil that the soil has to offer. Once the number of consumers increases, the plants will know to start growing faster and increase their numbers. If the rodents were to cease to exist the beatles would not be affected because they eat everything and would have many other food options. The only organism that would be affected at all by the loss of the rodents would be the carnivorous plants. Rodents love the taste of carnivorous plants and eat them constantly. Because the rodents reproduce so often they can pass the cells of the plant to their offspring which eventualy are eaten alive by these palnts as well as their parents. The carnivorous plants use the nutrients found in the body of the rodents to nourish it. Once the rodent is dead, the plant will seed itself in the carcas and start to grow out from the dead rodent. The rodents are stuck in a deadly cycle with these plants. Without the rodents the carnivorous plant would not propogate as often and their numbers would decrwease rapidly.
