Pandas have become specifically adapted to bamboo forests because they depend on the bamboo for food. Pandas also have a very slow reproduction rate. Females are only capable of becoming pregnant during a 24-to-72-hour window once per year, and they typically only give birth to one cub in the wild. Based on this information, if a major environmental catastrophe like a volcanic eruption or meteor strike destroyed all bamboo forests within the panda ecosystem, what will most likely happen to the panda species?(1 point) Responses The species will migrate to a different location that has more bamboo to eat. The species will migrate to a different location that has more bamboo to eat. The species will evolve adaptations to eat another food source that is plentiful. The species will evolve adaptations to eat another food source that is plentiful. The species will evolve into a new species that is capable of eating new food.

The species will become extinct since it cannot adapt to the changes fast enough. Since pandas are highly specialized to bamboo forests and have a slow reproductive rate, they are unlikely to be able to evolve new adaptations or migrate to a new location with a sufficient food source in time to survive if their primary food source is destroyed.
