Question

Coyotes eat ground animals such as squirrels. Imagine that a virus kills off most of the squirrels in the coyotes' ecosystem. Which of the following will likely occur?
A. If the coyotes do not find another food source, the energy they obtain from food will be less than what they use to hunt.
B. If the coyotes do not find another food source, they will obtain their energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis.
C. The coyotes will become herbivores and begin eating plants.
D. The coyotes will start eating other carnivores, such as mountain lions and hawks.
A or D?

Answer 1

I'd go with D.

Answer 2

I was thinking about A just because it seems kind of unlikely for coyotes to be able to successfully hunt down lions and hawks...

Answer 3

@Abhisar Any idea?

Answer 4

Omg! I'm sorry I meant A. -.- I was gonna say D was incorrect.

Answer 5
