To determine which animal would have the lowest bar on the bar graph based on the given population data, let's look at the populations of each animal listed:
- Mountain lions: 150 individuals
- Bobcats: 300 individuals
- Coyotes: 10,000 individuals
- Deer: 25,000 individuals
When interpreting a bar graph, the height of each bar represents the population of the respective animal. We are looking for the animal with the smallest population since this will correspond to the lowest bar on the graph.
Given the populations:
- Mountain lions have 150 individuals.
- Bobcats have 300 individuals.
- Coyotes have 10,000 individuals.
- Deer have 25,000 individuals.
Clearly, the animal with the smallest population is the mountain lions with 150 individuals. Therefore, the bar representing mountain lions on the bar graph will be the lowest.
In conclusion, the animal with the lowest bar on the bar graph would be the mountain lions.
