Question

Which of the following animal shows a continuous distribution?

• A. Green muscle
• B. Bats
• C. Lung fish
• D. Pacific salmon

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Bats

Animals are not uniformly distributed on land and in freshwater. They are restricted to certain places by several factors such as climate, food, shelter, flora and fauna etc. Generally distribution can be classified into three categories, namely, continuous, discontinuous and bipolar distribution. Many of the eurytopic animals have continuous distribution because they are companions of man and have travelled to long distances with him. Bats are the second largest order of mammals, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,200 species.

So the correct option is ' Bats'.
