You are walking to school on a December morning. There is a thin layer of snow on the grass. As you walk, you notice two distinct sets of paw prints left behind by some animals. One set is long and almost triangular shaped with large gaps in between pairs of prints. The other prints are round with four toes and they stagger diagonally. There are tufts of fur near the paw prints, some pieces are reddish orange, and some are a smoky brown color, possibly gray. By the time you get to school, you only see on the set of round paw prints and a few pieces of reddish-orange fur. The other prints stopped appearing suddenly. Based on this scenario, what kind of relationship do you think the two animals have?       Mutualistic     Commensalistic     Predator-Prey     Ammenalistic
