Question
- researchers have observed striped hyenas and gray wolves hunting together in certain areas. one hypothesis suggests that changing hunting behavior aids both species in obtaining better and more resources. in this hypothesis the hyenas benefit because the wolves chase and take down large animals, such as goats, that the hyenas usually cannot catch alone. the wolves benefit from hyenas using their jaw strength to crack open large bones of prey to access additional nutrients from bone marrow. which table best identifies the ecological relationships among the gray wolf, hyena, and goats?
Brief Explanations
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. Hyenas and gray - wolves benefit from each other's actions in hunting. Predator - prey relationship is when one organism (predator) hunts and eats another (prey). Gray wolves hunt goats, so they are in a predator - prey relationship.
