India : Duck

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

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?

i would say yes

It would only be duck, because it is the only animal that all 3 have in common. It's just like what Darwin did w/ the finches!!!

Well ducks are everywhere in the chat. And the question was

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

It didn't ask for india or australia

ducksssssssssss!!!!

can't you think!!!!

To determine if South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica were once connected, scientists would look for similarities in animal species found in these regions. In this case, they would focus on animals that are unique to these three regions and not commonly found in other parts of the world.

From the given information, we can see that ducks are present in multiple regions (India, Australia, and Antarctica), so they would not be useful in establishing a connection specifically between these three regions. However, South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica share the presence of two animal species: Goose and Cat.

Therefore, scientists would use the presence of Goose and Cat as evidence to argue that these regions were once connected. The fact that these two animals are found in South Africa, Africa, and Antarctica, but not in India and Australia, suggests a potential relationship between these regions in the past.
