and the coyote is a(predator, keystone predator, competitor)
plzzz answers

- Keystone herbivore

- Predator

Explanation:

The prairie dog is a herbivore, as it feeds upon plants and their products. But that is not its only role. The prairie dog also helps in the aeration of the soil, which is excellent for the grasses. It fertilizes the soil, and it spreads out the seeds, which contributes to much denser and healthier vegetation in the prairie. It is also a prey, namely of the coyote. So all in all, the prairie dog is a keystone herbivore, as it is a species on which the ecosystem heavily relies on. The coyote's role in the ecosystem is much simpler, it is a predator, thus it has a role of regulating the population of the herbivores, such as the prairie dog.
