← Nature & AnimalsWhich disadvantage occurs when coral snakes utilize defensive venom?
A)Reduced hunting strike accuracy
B)Increased vulnerability to other predators✓
C)Higher metabolic energy expenditure
D)Decreased intraspecific competition success
💡 Explanation
Coral snakes face greater danger because their defensive strategy relies on aposematism: they advertise their venom through bright coloring but sacrifice immediate escape. This visual warning relies on potential predators learning to avoid them, therefore, increased predator encounters increase dangers, rather than reducing energy output.
