Question

Which animals are least likely to do well in this young forest that is rebuilding ten years after a fire? a snakes that hide in grassy areas and eat small animals b deer that feed on grass and low-lying bushes c butterflies that feed on the nectar in flowers d eagles that build large, heavy nests in tall trees

Answer 1

In a young forest that is rebuilding ten years after a fire, the animals that are least likely to do well would be:

**d. eagles that build large, heavy nests in tall trees.**

This is because young forests typically lack the mature, tall trees that eagles require to build their nests. Eagles prefer habitats with large trees that can support their heavy nests, which would take many years to develop after a fire. The other animals listed (snakes, deer, and butterflies) are likely to find food and suitable habitats in the early growth stages of a forest, making them more adaptable to such an environment.
