@Vonte12 What do you think the answer is?

esshotwired · Answer

The answer is usually always Z. (whatever the real answer is)

shadowlegendx · Answer

Well with the information shown, it doesnt seem that this rodent could be endangered

anonymous · Answer

I'd say D because they no longer live in the desert.

Yea Me to

anonymous · Answer

They wouldnt have the need for the adaptions of the desert anymore

shadowlegendx · Answer

The answer could also be C as more predators could have made them want to make a move from the plains of a desert to a lush(easy to hide in) forest

shadowlegendx · Answer

@Vonte12 Go with D, it proves to be the best answer.
