lion	zebra, wildebeest, antelope

pick two animals that most likely compete for food.
a. zebra
b. antelope
c. cheetah
d. giraffe
e. elephant
f. lion
explain your reasoning

Explanation:

Animals compete for food when they have overlapping diets. Cheetah (C) and Lion (F) both prey on zebra, antelope, and wildebeest (or related species), so they compete for the same prey. Alternatively, Cheetah (C) and Lion (F) have overlapping food sources (e.g., zebra, antelope), leading to competition.

Answer:

C. cheetah, F. lion
