I observe that squirrels that live in the southeastern United States are much thinner than squirrels that live in the northeaste

rn part of the country. I theorize that this is because the squirrels that live in the northeast have greater fat reserves for the winter months when food is scarce. Is this a scientific theory?

Answer:

No, it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

  • A scientific theory is a proposition that is made to explain the various phenomena that are occurring in nature and it is supported by experiments that have repeatability and well-analyzed results.
  • Scientific theories are usually tested in experiments under controlled conditions and verified as well.
  • In the given situation, the theory made by the observer is not being tested through any experimentation or quantification and therefore, it is just a hypothesis and not a scientific theory.

explanation:
Water is essential for an abundance of life, and sunlight is the means by which the whole food chain receives energy. Plants convert the sunlight into food, herbivores eat them, and other animals eat herbivores.

Hope this helps, and muchas luck on your biology.
