Question

Bears and coyotes both consume large plant-eating mammals such as deer. When the deer are in short supply, bears andcoyotes may fight over the prey. This type of biological interaction is called a. Commensalism c. mutualism b. Competition d. rumination

Answer 1

Its competition

Step-by-step explanation:

Bears and coyotes will fight over the deer if the deer are in short supply so they won't have much deer to consume

Answer 2

The answer is competition.

Competition is an interaction between members of the same species or between different species. If resources, such as food, water, sunlight, territory, are limited and several species depend on these resources, then, they must compete with other species to gain the resources. In this example, bears and coyotes depend on deer and when deer population is reduced, bears and coyotes must compete in order to survive.
