which was the most likely food source for the first terrestrial tetrapods?
o a) leaves
b) insects
c) small mammals
d) small mammals
e) eggs
The first terrestrial tetrapods were amphibian - like. Insects were abundant on land at that time. Leaves would have required specialized digestive systems (herbivory adaptations) that early tetrapods may not have had fully developed. Small mammals and eggs (as a regular food source) came much later in evolutionary history. Insects were a readily available and energy - rich food source for the first terrestrial tetrapods.
