-
Stand still
-
Run away
-
Jump
-
Bark or snort
Correct Answer
A. Bark or snortExplanation
Plains zebras have a unique way of alerting their herd members when they spot a predator. Instead of immediately fleeing, they will bark or snort loudly. This behavior serves as a warning signal to the rest of the herd, alerting them to the potential danger. By making these vocalizations, the zebras are able to communicate and coordinate their response, increasing their chances of survival. Running away may come after the initial warning, but the bark or snort is the first instinctive reaction to the predator's presence.Rate this question:
