Climate changes cause a drought. There is no food to collect. To survive, the animals must become predators, catch and kill prey for food. Compare and contrast the traits of each group. Which group(s) would you expect to survive and reproduce, passing on the traits to future offspring?

B Groups A and CGroups A and C

D None of the groups.
A. Group A animals, who have adapted to become predators, would be expected to survive and reproduce. They have the necessary traits for hunting and killing prey for food.
C. Groups A, C, and E animals would be expected to survive and reproduce. Group C animals may have also adapted to become predators or have other survival strategies, while Group E animals may have different traits that help them survive in this new environment.
D. None of the groups may also be a possibility if the animals are unable to adapt to become predators or find alternative sources of food.
