DIFFICULTY IN SURVIVING

1. Some species of animals eat only one type of food.

2. The populations of these animals will be greatly affected when there is a shortage of their food.

3. They face difficulty in surviving when their only source of food runs out. For example, if the bamboo forests on which the pandas depend for their survival are destroyed in the name of development, the pandas face a serious threat of extinction.


  • Pandas eat only bamboo shoots and leaves.
  • They will die if there are no more bamboo plants.


  •  Kaolas eat only eucalyptus leaves.
  • They will die if there are no more eucalyptus leaves.


  • Pangolins eat only ants.
