What is wildlife carrying capacity?

The optimum number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat.
The minimum number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat.
The maximum number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat.
The balance number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat.

Correct Answer

A. The maximum number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat.

Explanation

The wildlife carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of animals that a specific habitat or area can support without causing deterioration or degradation of that habitat. This means that if the number of animals exceeds this capacity, it can lead to negative impacts on the habitat, such as overgrazing, depletion of resources, and disruption of the ecosystem's balance. Therefore, it is important to manage and monitor the population of wildlife to ensure that it remains within the carrying capacity of the habitat.
