Here are the answers to fill in the blanks on your worksheet based on general knowledge of these animals and the typical content of the "Hunters and Hunted" video series.
The Greater Buloong Rats
1. It has a
long tail living upon and unlike most bats, it can eat
meat. In no home is the
bat using a kind of
sonar it can detect fish.
2. Plan for the bat to drag its
prey into the water hoping to escape from danger.
3. They need the bat to splash at
least 20 miles per hour in order to catch their prey unaware.
4. How do the bats avoid hitting one another?
They use echolocation (or sonar) to sense each other.
5. Successful hunters are undeniably
young and they
eat their prey. They also have to learn how to

Because the climate changed and grasslands grew, pushing them to higher elevations.
12. The Ethiopian Wolf is
the rarest canid (dog family member) in the world.
*(Note: Some specific numbers like "20 miles per hour" or "1/3 body weight" depend on the exact script of the BBC video, but these are the standard scientific facts taught in this curriculum.)*
Final Answer:
1. long, meat, bat, sonar
2. prey
3. least
4. They use echolocation/sonar.
5. young, eat, catch, Parents, teach
7. 1,000, 6 feet
8. third
