Question

Snakes are reptiles that sometimes warm themselves by laying on rocks in the sunshine. Many small rodents live among the cracks in these rocks and use the tiny spaces to hide. The snakes capture and eat the rodents. Which of the following relationships is the LEAST similar to the relationship between the snake and the rodent?
A. a bird eating a worm
B. a fox hunting a rabbit
C. a frog swallowing a flying insect
D. a tick feeding on blood from a deer

Answer 1

Answer:

D.a tick feeding on blood from a deer

Explanation:

tick and deer have a parasitic relationship rather than predator prey

Answer 2

It’s D because in all of the other examples, it was a bigger animal eating a smaller one. Not only that, but this is a parasitic relationship rather than predator and prey. A parasitic relationship is when one animal gets benefited, but the other one gets harmed. For example, dogs and fleas.

I hope this helps!

Have a great day!
