Question 2 • TPS EdX Biology

Which scenario would most likely result in cooperative hunting?

Answer
A
Finches eat grass seeds, but grass seeds are not found in an area during winter months.
B
A shark eats a certain kind of fish, and the fish swim together when the shark comes close.
C
Lions eat zebra, and there are a lot of zebra and lions living in an area.
D
Wolves eat rabbits, and the number of rabbits in an area is low.

Explanation

Cooperative hunting is most useful when prey is scarce, because hunters can work together to find and catch it. In choice D, rabbits are in low numbers, so wolves would benefit from hunting together. In choice C, zebra are plentiful, so lions may not need to cooperate as much.
