    What does the Vaquita rely on for catching prey?

    • Eyes

    • Echo-location

    • Limbs

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Echo-location
    Explanation
    The Vaquita relies on echo-location for catching prey. Echo-location is a technique used by animals to locate objects in their environment by emitting sound waves and listening to the echoes that bounce back. This allows the Vaquita to navigate and find its prey, even in dark or murky waters where visibility is limited. By emitting clicks and listening to the echoes, the Vaquita can determine the location, size, and movement of its prey, enabling it to successfully catch food.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Carnivore
    Explanation
    The vaquita is said to be a carnivore because it primarily feeds on small fish, squid, and crustaceans. As a carnivore, it obtains its energy and nutrients by consuming other animals. This dietary preference distinguishes it from herbivores, which mainly eat plants, and omnivores, which consume both plants and animals.

    Explanation
    May is said to be the mating season of Vaquita because it is during this time that these marine mammals, which are critically endangered, engage in reproductive behaviors. The warm waters and abundance of food during May provide optimal conditions for Vaquitas to mate and reproduce. This is an important time for the survival and conservation of the species, as their population is rapidly declining.
