Which large woodland grouse survives in endangered populations in the Cantabrian Mountains and Pyrenees?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. capercaillie
- Step 1: According to the official source: In Germany it is on the "Red List" as a species threatened by extinction and is no longer found in the lower mountainous areas of Bavaria ; in the Bavarian Forest, the Black Forest and the Harz mountains, numbers of surviving western capercaillies decline even under massive efforts to breed them in captivity and release them into the wild. Answer: capercaillie. Why not the others: hazel grouse, ptarmigan, and black grouse are other wildlife species or subspecies found in different habitats across the region.
