Question

This is NOT true concerning predatory animals:

a. an owl can turn its head 270 degrees
b. Dragonflies have compound eyes, with as many as 80,000 individual units (ommatidium) in each eye
c. Tiger Beetles use echolocation to find prey.
d. to hear better, Red Foxes have very large external pinnae
e. hawk eyes contain retinal pits that have more than a million sensory cells in them

Answer 1

The false statement about predatory animals is that Tiger Beetles use echolocation to find prey; it's bats that utilize echolocation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement about predatory animals that is NOT true is: Tiger Beetles use echolocation to find prey. Predators such as owls, hawks, and insects like dragonflies have specialized adaptations to make them efficient hunters. Owls, for example, can turn their head 270 degrees and have excellent night vision, hawks possess incredible eyesight with retinal pits containing over a million sensory cells, and dragonflies have compound eyes with thousands of individual units called ommatidia. However, it is bats, not Tiger Beetles, that are known for using echolocation to navigate and locate prey in the dark.
