Biology
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There is a very common misperception among people, even among many snake hobbyists, that snakes must have live prey.

Explanation:

This is not usually true. In the wild, snakes, like most other carnivores, will usually take any opportunity to get a free and easy meal, and will not pass up a freshly killed prey animal if they happen upon it. In fact, snakes have been known to eat a fair amount of carrion which has been dead for some time, and the stomach contents of wild snakes often contain prey that must have been in an advanced state of decomposition when it was eaten. Thus, although your snake may prefer to eat live prey, which it kills itself through constriction, this is not at all necessary for the health of the snake. In fact, it is best not to feed your captive snakes live prey at all.

The correct answer is it always occurs in a predictable pattern.

Ecological successsion is defined as a <em>change in the structure of species of an ecological community over a period of tim</em>e. The succession that begins in a new environment by uninfluence of pre-existing species is called primary succession. The disruption of pre-existing community because of succession is called secondary succession. Ecological succession happens in a predictable pattern. The ecological communities undergoes predictable change which creates a disturbance or initial formation of new habitat.
