India : Duck

Australia : Duck
South Africa : Duck, Goose
Africa : Duck Cat
Antarctica: Duck Goose

If scientist wanted to argue that South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica was once connected, which animals would they use to determine that?

Would it be just Goose and Cat? Since ducks are everywhere else and it wouldn't matter?

ya i would go with that because duck would mean all the continents

To determine if South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica were once connected, scientists would look for animals that have a common distribution across these regions.

From the provided information, we see that ducks are found in India, Australia, and Antarctica, while South Africa has ducks and geese, and Africa has ducks and cats.

Based on this information, we can eliminate ducks as a determining factor since they are found in multiple regions, making it difficult to establish a unique connection. However, the presence of geese in both South Africa and Antarctica, and cats in Africa may suggest a shared historical connection between these three regions.

Therefore, scientists could potentially use the presence of geese and cats in South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica as evidence to argue that these regions were once connected.
