Answer:
Sheep and goats are important livestock species in developing countries. Of the world's 1,614million sheep and 475 million goats, 65% and 95%, respectively, are located in developing countries. Fifty-three percent of the total small-ruminant population in the developing countries is found in Asia, particularly in India and Pakistan, 33% in Africa, and 14% in Latin America (FAO, 1984).
Goats are hardy and well-adapted to harsh climates. Due to their grazing habits and physiological characteristics, they are able to browse on plants that would normally not be eaten by other livestock species. Thus, the presence of goats in mixed species grazing systems can lead to a more efficient use of the natural resource base and add flexibility to the management of livestock. This last characteristic is especially desirable in fragile environments.
Sheep and goats contribute to a broad range of production systems. The most common system throughout the developing countries involve either the extensive system with large herds and/or flocks grazing on arid and semi-arid rangelands or the intensive system with smaller herds and/or flocks kept in confinement, mostly in the humid tropics.
When the body becomes dehydrated, a chemical signal is sent that causes nephrons in the kidneys to absorb more water and excrete more salts. This is an example of a <em>D Feedback loop</em>.

Aka when skin cells swell from excess water
Answer:
After an organism is buried, minerals carried by water such as silica, calcite or pyrite replace the organic material in the fossil. Some common examples are most dinosaur bones, petrified wood, and many trilobite fossils.
Answer:
We ruin the ecosystem with pollution, littering, habitat destruction, and extinction of the wildlife.
