Question

Based on the leaf colors of the tree below , what type of parrot is most likely to be captured by hawks

Answer 1

The "DD" is the parrot that is most likely to be captured by the hawks.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the leaves of the trees shown in the image have shades of green very similar to the shades of green of the feathers of the "Dd" and "dd" parrots it will be more difficult for the hawks to see these two parrots because they will be able to camouflage themselves. Unfortunately the "DD" parrot was not so lucky and will be easy to catch by the hawks.

Camouflage is an effective form of defense in which the animal becomes less visible in the environment in which it lives and thus prevents the predator from being able to identify it. In addition to this defense function, camouflage can be a way of obtaining food, since, hidden, the predator can count on the element of surprise to be able to attack its prey.

Answer 2

DD, because Dd and dd have matching colored feathers to the trees. This makes them harder to see by the hawks. And DD parrots dont have as good of a camoflauge as the other two, ann their feather colors don't match the leaves as well as the other two.
