Name: Round 2: How can you maximize your kcal intake and minimize your energy output? Lions live in prides consisting of males, females and juvenile cubs. Depending on their sex, size, and age, lions have different kcal requirements per day. Males require 17,500 kcal/day Females require 13,500 kcal/day Juveniles require 11,500 kcal/day The pride you are following consists of 1 male, 4 females, and 3 juveniles. Recall from the video, that females typically are the pride members that do the hunting, 4. Calculate how much energy your pride will need to sustain itself per day. Show all work here: 13,500 17,500 X X Species TheRoc 5. What prey items should your pride attempt to catch to have enough energy for the day? As a group, develop four different feeding scenarios in which you will be able to adequately supply the required energy for your pride. Each team member should come up with their own unique combination of prey that will support the energy needs of the entire pride.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To calculate the energy requirements for the pride we need to multiply the number of individuals in each category males females and juveniles by their respective energy requirements and sum them up En... View the full answer
