Question

What is the difference between solitary and sedentary animals?

• A. Solitary animals do not move; sedentary animals move freely.
• B. Solitary animals live alone; sedentary animals live together.
• C. Solitary animals move slowly; sedentary animals live on their own.
• D. Solitary animals live alone; sedentary animals move slowly, if at all.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Solitary animals live alone; sedentary animals move slowly, if at all.

Solitary animals are those that live alone or at most in pairs. They often come together in the breeding season to mate.

Sedentary animals are animals that move very slowly if they ever do.

So, the correct answer is 'Solitary animals live alone; sedentary animals move slowly, if at all.'
