Question

A photograph of a trophy room shows the heads of several large hoofed mammals, such as bison, pronghorn antelope, and elk all shot within a day's walk of a single hunting camp in North America. This camp was probably located in tropical rain forest. tropical deciduous forest. temperate grassland. savanna. desert. When natural selection shapes feeding behavior to maximize energy gained and minimize the expenditure of time and energy it is called the good dining model theory of optimal foraging game theory s sexual selection If an animal wants to communicate a signal over a long distance in a dark forest would be best to use which of the following modes of communication tactile sound visual

Explanation / Answer

1) Answer C

        Bison, proghorn antelope,elk are the wild animals which prefer their habitat in valleys, terrain open lands. These all three are mainly herbivores and eat grass and other simple foods. Many of the north America contains many mountain ranges which is suitable for these herbivores for foraging.

2) Answer B

      Foraging is a task in which animals get maximum energy but in which both energy and times gets utilised. Everyone tries to minimize the energy and time required for foraging and utilize maximum energy from the food obtained. Here they all take into account the cost/benefit ratio. For this the optimum foraging theory proposed to give the best strategy to fulfil this task without losing much energy which ultimately increases fitness. The strategy which is more advantageous is selected by Natural selection.

3) Answer B

        In the dark tactile (touch) is not at all going to help out animal for communication, the visual aspect is also useful in some animals which are nocturnal and have strong vision in night. For visual animal has to displace its position visible to other.

        For sound (sonic) communication animals can use secret communication language and many times it is out of capacity of others to hear it. For ex. Ultrasonic communication in bats.
