CRITICAL THINKING
1. Two arctic marine mammals that live in the same waters
differ in the level of pollutants in their bodies. Bowhead
whales have a lower pollutant load than ringed seals.
What are some factors that might explain this difference?
2. In one seaside community in New Jersey, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service suggested trapping and removing
feral cats (domestic cats that live in the wild). The goal

isms would be most adversely affected by this habitat
fragmentation?
