Saguaro kangaroo rats generally leave watering holes, where food and water are abundant, during the day, while Sonoran kangaroo rats remain near these same watering holes and continue foraging throughout the day. Although sonoran kangaroo rats have larger and more frequent litters, they are generally outnumberred by the Saguaro kangaroo rat

which of the following, if true, would best resolve the appatent paradox described above?
A. several species of successful rodents also leave the streams and watering holes during the day
B. The Saguaro kangoroo rat matures much more slowly than the Sonoran kangoroo rat because of its relatively limited food supply
C. Many of the predators of kangaroo rats, such as falcons and rattlesnakes, are only active around steams during the day
D. Saguaro kangaroo rats are more sensitive to sunlight than are Sonoran kangaroo rats.
E. Sonoran kangaroo rats are reproductive to greater age than are Saguaro kangaroo rats

my pick C
Although sonoran kangaroo rats have larger and more frequent litters, they are generally outnumberred by the Saguaro kangaroo rats.....why.........?
C explains this
As Sonoran kangaroo rats forage throughout the day....they are easy prey for predators such as falcons and rattlesnakes only active around steams during the day...whereas Saguaro kangaroo rats leave watering holes during the day thus escape the predators...keeping their number intact
Life is all about ass; you're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, or behaving like one.
