34、easured nearly 2,000 birds.

40、enough to eat.34.Why do few adult short-billed red knots survive in Africa?A. Because they cant access Loripes lucinalis bivalves.B. Because Dosinia isocardia bivalves they need are rare.C. Because they cant find arthropod insects to eat.D. Because seagrass rhizomes they feed on are not nutritious.3
