Question

Why do most carnivores live in forests? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Carnivores are mostly found in forests because-

• They are highly dependent on flesh for their food and therefore their food is easily available in forests.
• Small animals live in forests that make it the ideal habitat for carnivores.
• Carnivores help in maintaining the herbivore population at a healthy level, by hunting.
• It all helps in keeping ecosystems in balance.
