The cane toad was a failure as a biological control method in Australia because:
-The greyback beetle it was supposed to be eating fed at the top of the sugarcane stalks (which were 6-8 meters in height). Cane toads cannot fly or climb and therefore couldnt feed on the beetles.
-The beetles were out during the daytime, and cane toads feed at night.
-The two species are not seasonally compatible (aren't in the same place at the same time of year).
-The toads needed moist conditions to survive, and so moved away from where they were supposed to be.
-The cane toad eats many native species and often out-competes native species for food and breeding sites, leading to the decline of natives.
-Breeding habits made the cane toads a very invasive species.

A primate that is blind in one eye would have difficulty (1 point)
Alona [7]

The correct option is C.

Primates are triochromatic, that is, their eyes are equipped to differentiate clearly between three colors, which are blue, green and red. This feature allows them to distinguished between ripe and unripe fruits and to have full wide range of vision. Primates need their two eyes to have a full range of vision, thus when one eye is absent, it drastically affect how far the affected animal can see and makes estimation of distances of objects quite difficult.
