3. According to the material, what is one major advantage AI provides to zoologists?

   1. Collecting data at scales impossible for human observers alone
   2. Replacing all field researchers with automated systems
   3. Physically capturing and tagging every animal in an ecosystem
   4. Eliminating the need for any field observations

4. Which term describes the scientific study of animal behavior?

   1. Ethology
   2. Astronomy
   3. Geology
   4. Meteorology

5. What does the term 'individual ID' refer to in zoological research?

   1. Determining the age of an animal
   2. Counting how many animals live in an area
   3. Naming new species discoveries
   4. Identifying and distinguishing between specific single animals

6. What type of data does AI help zoologists analyze from camera footage?

   1. Animal movement patterns and behaviors
   2. Soil composition around the camera
   3. Weather conditions at each location
   4. The temperature of the forest

7. Why might zoologists prefer using AI to track animals rather than direct human observation?

   1. AI can observe without disturbing the animals
   2. AI requires less training to use
   3. AI is less expensive than hiring field workers

13. If a zoologist has 100 hours of wildlife camera footage, what can AI help do that would take humans much longer?

    1. Delete most of the footage to make it manageable
    2. Hire more students to watch the footage
    3. Watch the video at faster speeds manually
    4. Analyze the footage to identify animal behaviors
