Chapter 2, Problem 76A

To determine

The two examples of animal species with good endurance and two examples of animal species with the ability to move quickly. Also explain how each of these qualities is helpful to them.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Some of the animal species runs slowly but have good endurance and remain active for longer period of time and have higher physical stamina. On the other hand, some of the animal species runs very fast but only for short period of time and lack the physical stamina. Both these qualities of the animal species are helpful for them in one or the other way.

The two examples for animal species with the more endurance are coyotes and bear.

Both coyotes and beer use its endurance to capture their prey such as deer.

The two examples for animal species with the ability to run quickly but for short duration of time are cheetah and deer.

The ability of cheetah to run quickly (for a shorter duration of time) helps them in capturing their prey.

The ability of deer to run quickly (for a shorter duration of time) helps them to escape from their predators such as lions and wolves.

Conclusion:

Thus, the examples of animal species with the ability to run quickly but for short duration of time are cheetah and dear. They use this quality either in capturing prey (in case of cheetah) or in escaping from predators (as in case of deer). On the other hand, the two examples for animal species with the more endurance are coyotes and bear. They use this quality tocapture their prey.
