Apologies if my previous responses were not what you were expecting. In competition between individuals of the same species, the factors that allow some individuals to survive over others include:
- Variation in genetic traits: Some individuals may possess genetic traits that give them an advantage in obtaining resources or adapting to their environment.
- Better physical or physiological adaptations: Individuals with traits that are better suited for their environment or provide them with competitive advantage, such as stronger muscles, faster speed, or sharper senses, are more likely to survive.
- Efficient resource acquisition: Individuals that are more effective at acquiring and utilizing resources such as food, water, or shelter have a higher chance of survival.
- Avoiding competing directly: Some individuals may choose to avoid direct competition by occupying different niches or utilizing different resources.
- Better ability to cope with changes: Individuals that can withstand or adapt to rapid changes in the environment, such as temperature fluctuations or habitat modifications, have a higher likelihood of survival.
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?

u got all of them wrong
I apologize if my previous responses were incorrect. In order for an invasive species to outcompete a native species, the following factors can play a role:
- Lack of natural predators or parasites: Without natural predators or parasites in the new environment, the invasive species can experience a population explosion and outcompete native species.
- Rapid reproductive rate: Invasive species often have a high reproductive rate, allowing them to reproduce quickly and establish larger populations compared to native species.
- Tolerance to a wide range of environmental conditions: Invasive species are often able to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions, giving them a competitive advantage over native species that may be more specialized to specific habitats.
- Aggressive or competitive behaviors: Invasive species may exhibit aggressive behaviors, such as territoriality or resource monopolization, that allow them to outcompete native species for food, shelter, or other resources.
- Ability to utilize novel resources: Invasive species may be able to exploit resources that native species cannot, giving them a competitive advantage for limited resources.
- Resistance to diseases or parasites: Invasive species may have evolved resistance to diseases or parasites that affect native species, giving them a survival advantage.
- Ecological release: Invasive species often experience a reduction in predators, competitors, or resource limitations in their new environment, allowing them to thrive and outcompete native species.
