Question

If we assume that, in the African savanna, rainfall and the amount of grass is plentiful, what other factor would BEST explain a reduced antelope population? A) competition from zebra B) reduced number of trees C) increased number of predators D) increased number of newborn antelope

Answer 1

Answer: C) increased number of predators

Step-by-step explanation:

Antelope are the deer like mammals. They belong to the family of Bovidae. They have hollow horns, which deer do not posses. These animals are native of Savanna biome of Africa.

These are herbivorous animals. According to the given situation, grass which can be the source of food for these animals will be plentiful due to rainfall thus there will be no competition for food among these animals. Thus these animals can only be reduced by the increase in the number of predators.

Answer 2

I think the answer is C) increased number of predators.

Antelopes are herbivores, they have a lot of predators that are out to hunt them. The predators that hunt them are humans, wild dogs, eagles, lions and other more animals.
