Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the image and options
The image shows a Grizzled Giant Squirrel. We are asked to identify its ecosystem. The options provided are tropical savanna, monsoon rainforest, grassland, and deciduous forest.
Step 2: Identify the Grizzled Giant Squirrel's habitat
Grizzled giant squirrels are found in moist deciduous forests and evergreen forests, primarily in India. They prefer dense tree cover and a mix of moist and dry areas.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options
Tropical Savanna: Savannas are characterized by grasslands with scattered trees, not dense forests, so this is not a suitable habitat for grizzled giant squirrels.
Grassland: Similar to savannas, grasslands lack the necessary tree cover for these squirrels.
Deciduous Forest: Deciduous forests have the tree cover necessary for grizzled giant squirrels, making this a possible habitat.
Monsoon Rainforest: While monsoon rainforests offer dense tree cover, they are very wet. Grizzled giant squirrels prefer a mix of moist and dry conditions.
