What would be a probable
explanation for why there are
many endemic plants and birds in
New Zealand, but no native
mammals?
(1 point)
They were driven away by
non–native mammals.
Plants and birds would
make ocean crossings to
the isolated New Zealand
islands, mammals could
not.
They were hunted to
extinction by the Maori.
The island habitats were not
conducive to mammalian
life.
