### herbs:

Annual plant
* Many annual plants produce great quantities of smaller seeds.
* Most annual plants are herbs
  - grow well in containers
  - require at least ten week from seed germination until bloom
* complete their life cycle from seed in less than one year.
* go from seed to seed in a single season, dying off at the end of summer
  - through a one-year life span
* grow and flower in the desert biome after rainfall
  - until first killing frost
* have a life cycle of just one year.
* live for only one growing season, during which they produce seeds and then die
  - only one year and reproduce by seed
* survive for only one season
  - the winter or dry season as seeds
* take winter avoidance to an extreme.

Herd
* Every herd has leaders, followers, and a well defined pecking order known as a dominance hierarchy.
* Many herds have cows that are mid lactation
  - to walk farther to get to water, which impacts weight gain and efficiency
* Most herds benefit by treating every quarter of every cow at drying off
  - have one bull and many females
  - possess animals
* Some herds consist of only males, others consist only of females and their young
  - use anionic salts to avoid milk fevers
* also allow horses to protect the weakest members of the group.
* are animal groups
  - essentially harems, with a single adult male and a number of adult females and young
  - formed from close social groups with complex relationships
  - kept together by vocalizations and a strong musk released from the dorsal gland
  - sedentary within an annual home range, or migrate altitudinally
  - smallest in the summer and largest in the winter
  - structured by a dominance hierarchy
  - usually all of one sex, but during mating season they mix
* can threaten ground-nesting birds by trampling nests and eggs, and even eating eggs.
* consist of cows, calves and young bulls

* even graze during the daytime to utilize the heat of the sun.
* form part of larger related groupings called clans.
* frequently forage from woodlands onto agricultural land.
* have large ranges which they move slowly through, sometimes trotting.
* is an animal group
* move in single file when travelling through thorn forest, but they spread out in open areas.
* offer protection from predators, such as lions.
* often experience outbreaks of pneumonia occurring in a number of calves at the same time
  - join with others to form large groups called clans
* probably serve predator avoidance function.
* typically comprise members of a single sex, though female herds additionally have juveniles.
* use cooperation to deal with predation by wolves or dogs.
* usually contain individuals of both sexes and all ages.

+ Arctic, Animal life
  * Caribou and their relative, the reindeer, live in the Arctic too. The caribou are now found mostly in North America, and they are larger than the reindeer. Large herds feed on the grass and lichens. When fall comes,s they move south to winter feeding grounds. They dig through the snow with their sharp hoofs for food. Their hollow fur creates a cushion of air around them that helps them to stay warm. In the spring they return north to the summer pastures, where their calves are born. An hour or so after being born, the calves are able to follow the herd toward the Arctic Ocean.
