Although some sharks close their eyes just before they bite,their bites are on target. Researchers have noted that sharksoften misdirect their bites at metal objects and that they canfind batteries buried under sand. This evidence suggests thatsharks keep track of their prey during the split second beforethey bite in the same way that(A) a rattlesnake finds a mouse in its burrow.(B) an insect avoids being stepped on.(C) a star-nosed mole locates its prey in tunnels.(D) a platypus locates its prey in a muddy river.

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
