BIOTIC FACTORS:
The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), is a species of rabbit native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is characterised by a body covered with thick, woolly, pale brown to grey fur, an oval head and large eyes. It weighs between 1.5 and 2.5 kg in the wild. It has long ears of up to 7 cm which help regulate body temperature and a very short tail. Its front legs are shorter than its hind legs. It measures 34 to 50 cm in gentle conditions, even more in domestic meat breeds. All these characteristics possessed by this species in the wild may vary significantly according to the breed.
It lives in dry areas close to sea level with soft sandy soil to facilitate the construction of burrows. 
burrows. They inhabit forests, although they prefer large fields covered by bushes where they can hide. In the past, they were also common on arable land
 although new ploughing methods include the destruction of rabbit burrows. Despite this, this species has adapted to human activity by living in parks, grassy fields or even cemeteries. They are sometimes found in agricultural crops where they feed on lettuce, grains or roots that were intended for human consumption.
The sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) is a domestic ungulate quadrupedal mammal, used as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are artiodactyla, or hoofed animals. Although the term "sheep" is applied to many species of the genus Ovis, it generally refers to the domestic subspecies of Ovis orientalis.
Sheep are relatively small ruminants, usually with a curly coat called wool and often with spiral-shaped side horns. Their height and weight vary depending on the breed. The rate of growth and their adult weight is an inherited trait and they are often selected for in breeding. Females usually weigh between 45 and 100 kg and males between 45 and 160 kg.
Sheep are exclusively herbivorous mammals. Most breeds prefer to eat grasses and other short-fibre plants, avoiding the higher woody parts of plants.
