Question

endangered species are typically large and have low reproductive rates, which means they either wait until late in life to reproduce or have few offspring each time they reproduce. what is another characteristic that is likely to make a species endangered? the species has a wide habitat tolerance the species is useful to humans, but only when dead (example: for food)

Explanation:

• A wide habitat tolerance would actually help a species survive better as it can adapt to more environments, so it is not a characteristic that makes a species endangered.
• If a species is useful to humans only when dead (for example, for food), it may face over - hunting or over - exploitation. Since the species has low reproductive rates (as mentioned in the problem statement), it may not be able to replenish its population fast enough to counteract the human - caused mortality.

Answer:

The species is useful to humans, but only when dead (example: for food)
