The logistic growth curve of animal population growth is more realistic than J shaped curve because:

1. Asexual mode of reproduction is rare in higher animals

2. Resources are finite and become limiting sooner or later.

3. Most animals are conformers rather than regulators

4. Abiotic factors affect animals more than plants

Very small animals are rarely found in polar region mainly because:

1. Smaller animals have a relatively slower heart rate

2. Smaller animals have a more surface area relative to their volume

3. Smaller animals are invariably herbivores

4. Smaller animals rely on diffusion for exchange of gases with the environment
