Which consequence results when cheetahs encounter a gazelle herd during optimized pursuit?

💡 Explanation

Gazelles employ the confusion effect, disorienting the cheetahs and enabling escape because multiple moving targets overwhelm the predator's tracking ability; therefore, the herd splits, exposing no certain target rather than reinforcing cohesion.
