Answer 18

@Abhisar Most prey animals immediate response is to freeze or flee. Many smaller animals that live in cover will freeze and hope to avoid detection. Some animals though, particularly animals that have vision based on movement will flee. Things like turkeys just take off at the first sign of any trouble.

Answer 19

This is another question that is really not answerable. It would depend on both the situation and the species on whether or not it would freeze, flee, hiss, etc. Many snakes will hiss, as will lizards, and a few mammals. There is no actual wrong answer in the options.

Answer 20

no but is it context with mouse

Answer 21

*it is

Answer 22

@Abhisar Again though, it would depend on where the mouse was. In nature, it would likely freeze until it became clear that the threat was not going to pass them buy, unless they were right next to, say, the hole. In a open place like rock glades or in a house, they will flee to cover.

Answer 23

Ohkayyy..thnx a ton @mrdoldum

Answer 24

@Abhisar These things are really way too complicated to be asking questions like that. Most animals will "freeze" in a manner of speaking, until they can assess the threat level. At that point, the animals will use what ever defenses they have (I am including running away as a defense).

Answer 25

oh yes i agree
