- Use the following information to answer the next question Giraffes and other hoofed animals, including impalas, steenboks, and kudus, feed on acacia trees on the African savannah. Giraffes feed on leaves at the top of the tree, whereas the other hoofed animals, which are smaller than giraffes, feed on the lower leaves. A controlled study showed that when smaller hoofed animals are prevented from feeding on a tree, giraffes feed on the lower leaves. 5. The giraffe's preference for feeding on leaves at the top of a tree is likely a result of intraspecific competition interspecific competition environmental resistance predator-prey interactions Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. 1 in 2,500 Caucasian newborns have CF. 12.

When they are in a group, they seem to confuse predators and avoid being picked off and eaten, but they have to share the leaf they are eating. I predict that if I put many caterpillars in an enclosure with both large and small leaves, the large leaves will attract bigger groups of caterpillars than the small leaves.
