- If populations of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) continue to decline, one approach to prevent extinction would be captive breeding. How does this process work? a. The remaining animals are moved into captivity to try to increase the population, after which they are reintroduced into the wild. b. The remaining animals are moved to a national park. c. The remaining animals are taken to the largest zoos so more people can see theam. d. A few individuals are moved to an outdoor enclosure to ensure that mates are available.arrow_forwardWhich statement is a valid analysis about bison movement and the carrying capacity of Yellowstone National Park? A. The decrease in the northern herd's population is explained by its inability to migrate and the park's decreasing carrying capacity. B. The fact that bison only migrate in years of deep snow indicates that they have exceeded the park's carrying capacity. C. The carrying capacity for other animals found in Yellowstone has increased due to the bison's migration outside of the park. D. The movement of bison beyond park boundaries is not due to the bison population being too large for the park's carrying capacity.
