Question

Iguanas, which eat only plants, are not native to Florida, but they were introduced years ago. Which animal population is most likely to be threatened if Florida's iguana population increases?

A.
carnivores

B.
fish

C.
herbivores

D.
birds

Answer 1

C. herbivores

As iguanas are herbivores that consume plants, an increase in their population could lead to a significant impact on native plant life. This, in turn, could threaten the herbivore populations that depend on those same plants for food, leading to a decrease in their numbers.
