Answer-The phenomenon of leisure time and growing popularity of sport hunting

This method tends to work best for: - Answer-Browsers that nip off parts of woody
plants
Which of the following statements about herbivores and their food is NOT true? -
Answer-Plants are a much easier food type for birds and mammals to digest than

temperature, the wood rat would be: - Answer-Gaining heat by conduction
In a recent study of use of thermal cover by moose, it was discovered the female
moose choose resting sites with greater canopy cover and less wind during the day,
suggesting that protection from solar radiation was important. Male moose, on the
other hand, chose resting sites that were windier and were not selective for canopy
cover, suggesting that loss of excess heat by__________? _________ was more
important for them. - Answer-Convection
