The finch species of Galapagos Islands are grouped according to their food sources. Which of the following is not a finch food?

Options

A.Seeds
B.Carrion
C.Insects
D.Tree buds

Solution

Sol.(b) [Key Concept: Darwin's Finches — Feeding-based Grouping] Carrion (dead bodies/flesh of dead animals) is not a food source for Darwin's finches. Darwin observed an amazing diversity of creatures on Galapagos islands — there were many varieties of finches in the same island: seed-eating, insectivorous, vegetarian (tree buds), and cactus-eating finches with altered beaks. No finch species feeds on carrion.
