Question 13 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Which of the following statements is true about prairie dogs?

Answer
A
Prairie dogs have a specific call to indicate the intelligence of the predator.
B
Prairie dogs vary their call depending on the characteristics of a predator.
C
Prairie dogs vary their call only when their community is out of danger.
D
Prairie dogs have one basic call that indicates the presence of predators.

Explanation

Prairie dogs use different alarm-call patterns to communicate features of an approaching predator, such as its size, shape, or color. This means they vary their calls depending on the predator’s characteristics, rather than using just one basic call for every predator. The true statement is that prairie dogs vary their call depending on the characteristics of a predator.
