Before starting your test, please watch the short video below about natural selection.
Please use the image below to answer Questions 1 and 2. The image shows a population of bunnies.
This population of bunnies have either brown fur or white fur, and either short teeth or long teeth.
Bunnies are herbivores (they eat plants). The plants in this ecosystem are tough (hard, difficult to chew). It is almost impossible for short-tooth bunnies to eat these plants.
This ecosystem also contains wolves that eat the bunnies.
