Question

eagles and grizzly bears live in the same habitat. which of the following situations will create competition between the bears and eagles?
grizzly bears hibernate during the winter while eagles remain active.
pesticides in the fish population affect eagles eggs and decrease their population.
both grizzly bears and eagles feed on salmon (fish).
laws prevent humans from being able to hunt eagles or grizzly bears.

Explanation:

Competition occurs when two species share the same resource. Here, if both grizzly bears and eagles feed on salmon, they will compete for this food resource. Hibernation patterns, pesticide - related population decline of eagles, and hunting laws do not directly create competition between the two species for a shared resource.

Answer:

C. Both grizzly bears and eagles feed on salmon (fish).
