Observation suggest that for herbivorous mammals, the number of animals N per square kilometer can be estimated by the formula N=91.2 M^0.73 where M is the average mass of the animal in kilograms. A. ASSUMING THAT THE AVERAGE ELK ON A PARTICULAR RESERVE HAS MASS 300KG, APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY ELK WOULD YOU EXPECT TO FIND PER SQ.KM IN THE RESERVE? B. USING THE FORMULA, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE IS LESS THAN ONE ANIMAL OF A CERTAIN SPECIES PER SQ.KM. HOW LARGE CAN THE AVERAGE ANIMAL OF THIS SPECIES BE?
