Antelope are hunted by both crocodiles and lions. When antelope bend down to drink water, they are vulnerable to lions on land and crocodiles in the water. The lions hide in the grass and ambush them, while the crocodiles hide in the water and ambush them.
Which environmental change would cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food?
wildfire
monsoon
drought
flood
Drought would likely cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food. During a drought, the water levels decrease, making it harder for crocodiles to hide and ambush the antelopes. Additionally, the reduced water sources would limit the presence of prey, making it more difficult for crocodiles to find food.
which one
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is drought. During a drought, water sources become scarce or dry up completely, which would limit the ability of crocodiles to hide and ambush the antelopes. It would also reduce the availability of prey for the crocodiles, as many animals migrate or struggle to survive during a drought. This would decrease the chances of the crocodiles successfully competing for food with the lions.
