Question

Raccoons prefer woody areas and are omnivores, which means that they eat meat and plant materials. They are nocturnal, meaning that they are active at night. They are often eaten by mountain lions, gray wolves, and coyotes. Which of the following is a limiting factor for a raccoon population?
shortened summer days
deforestation
claw length
breeding season

Answer 1

The correct answer is deforestation.

Now that deforestation limits the population, raccoons are dying reason being they lost their lives in trees. Omnivores eat both meat and plants and so raccoons are.

Deforestation is known to be the permanent destruction of forests so that land can be made for other purposes.

Example of deforestation is conversion of forest land to urban use, ranches, and farms.

The only known deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.

Answer 2

1. It means that they eat meat and plant materials since omnivores eat both meat and plants
2. It would be deforestation since it limits the population because raccoons are dying because they lost their homes in the trees
