Answer:smaller animals have larger surface area
Explanation: I can only give you an example.
Look, a cylinder has 24cm square as the base area on both sides.
When you slice it so that two more cylinders form, both of them will have 24cm square as the base area. Which means 4 base area of 24cm square is formed.
The initial big cylinder has 2 side of 24cm square. But the sliced two cylinders have total 4 sides of 24cm square as base area.
The same thing happens in animals .small animals have high surface area compared to larger ones.
