Question

Small animals run zig zag path to escape from predators.what is the reson?

Answer 1

Answer:

Inertia.

Explanation:

Small animals have lower body mass when comapred to larger predators.

Therefore it is easier for small animals to twist and turn their bodies, than larger predators.

Larger predators have higher inertia due to higher body mass, and it would require a huge energy expenditure for them to run in a zigzag path. Therefore, smaller animals can outrun the larger predators if they do zig-zag motion.
