Feral cats and domestic cats and street cats what are three differences? But why cats are weak animals in my opinion unlike dogs are bigger, stronger, faster and more intelligent then cats. A dog in feral life will gain pack and defend their young easily while cats are solitary they can’t defend their kittens and have to work alone to find food or defending themselves is not possible against raccoons, fox, hawks, possums, skunks and more,
While on a backpacking trip you are bitten by a poisonous snake and transferred to the nearest
hospital, where you receive human immunoglobulin treatment against the poisonous snake venom.
You recover from your snakebite and return home. One year later during an environmental studies
field trip, you are bitten once again by the same type of snake. Please select the correct answers:
O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no
residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore,
no recall response.
You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you
temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies
during the second exposure.
Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes
then engulfed and destroyed…

- Tiger Moths produce high pitched ultrasonic clicking when they hear the echolocation calls of bats and we know that bats eat moths. As a result, the bat's sonar is jammed and the Tiger Moth escapes without being caught, killed, and eaten. Please use your knowledge of Evolution by Natural Selection to explain the process by which this remarkable anti-predator defense evolved in Tiger Moths. Please help me with this question! Thank you.arrow_forwardWhy feral cats can’t be a pack or pride like lions? If they did could surrive in wild from bobcats, Lynx, raccoons, bears, possums, skunks, foxes, and weasels.

- By 1935, hunting and trapping had eliminated wolves from the United States, except for Alaska. Wolves have since been protected as an endangered species, they have moved south from Canada and become reestablished in the Rocky Mountains and northern Great Lakes region. Conservationists who would like to speed up wolf recovery have reintroduced wolves into Yellowstone National Park. Local ranchers are opposed to bringing back the wolves because they fear predation on their cattle and sheep. What are some reasons for reestablishing wolves in Yellowstone National Park? What effects might the reintroduction of wolves have on the biological communities in the region? What might be done to mitigate the conflicts between ranchers and wolves?arrow_forwardThe _____ is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled organ that converts physical sound waves into a neural signal that the brain can understand.arrow_forwardWhat happens if a venomous snake bites a nonvenomous snake?

- Fish Y would be less more likely to survive a large predator than Fish X. Fish X Fish Y would not be as likely to sense the individual fish around it in the group and, as a result, may not maintain proper spacing. It may also lose its way from the group and its protection, resulting in decreased survival outcomes when compared to Fish X Fish Y .arrow_forwardAnimals have the innate ability to escape from predation, give its example.arrow_forwardMost remote oceanic islands have at least one unique species of flightless bird that shows little or no fear of humans or other large predators.
