Question

Among tiger, fox, snake and antelope, which would be considered as the topmost predator?

Answer 1

• Predators are animals that depend on other animals to acquire energy. These predators can fall prey to other animals as well, whereas topmost predators also depend on other animals for food but cannot be preyed upon by any other animal. (1.5 Mark)
• Here, tiger occupies the highest trophic level, but there is no natural predator that can prey on it. (0.5 Mark)
