When I continued my tour the snake followed me as we were continuing down the path. So I started thinking about the snake and I thought that it was one individual and that if something were to happen to the snake it could not do its important role to the environment (niche), so I started to think about what role did it have in the environment then I came to the conclusion that it's role was to keep populations of other animals in check. After words the little snake went to a group of similar snakes called a population.
Scientific information
Definition (individual)- The one organism, one type of organism that has no other organism like it in its ecosystem
In this case the individual would be a snake that lives in a swamp, where he lives it has a vary important role called a niche.
The population is a group (more than 1) of the same type of organisms
