“Carnivorous” classifies the “Panther” by diet. In the same way, “Herbivorous” classifies which animal among the options?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Buffalo

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Biological analogies often use dietary classifications. A panther is carnivorous (meat-eating). We must choose an animal that is herbivorous (plant-eating), preserving the classification relation from the stem.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Carnivorous → Panther (big cats are meat-eaters).
  • Herbivorous → ? (choose a plant-eater).


Concept / Approach:
Among the options, buffalo is herbivorous (grazing on grasses/vegetation). Tiger, lion, and leopard are carnivorous big cats, so they do not fit the required herbivore classification.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify relation type: diet classification.2) Select the herbivore from the list.3) Choose “Buffalo.”


Verification / Alternative check:
Zoological references list bovines as herbivores; big cats are obligate carnivores.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Tiger, lion, and leopard are predators; not herbivores.


Common Pitfalls:
Assuming any large mammal could be herbivorous without checking taxonomy and diet.


Final Answer:
Buffalo
