Considering the three categories of adaptation from the slides, which category does 'pack hunting in wolves' fall under, and why?
Options
A Structural — because it involves the wolf's body shape
B Physiological — because it reduces individual metabolic expenditure
C Behavioral — because it is an action or behavior that enhances survival
Correct Answer
D Genetic — because it is encoded directly in wolf DNA
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Pack hunting falls under behavioral adaptations because it is an action or behavior (cooperative hunting) that enhances survival. While this behavior has genetic underpinnings, it is classified as behavioral because it involves observable actions and learned components.

Hint

This is a cooperative action that wolves perform to improve hunting success.
