“A beetle (0.06g), a gorilla (200kg), a gecko (5g) and a hedgehog (5g) are all kept individually in 5x5m rooms that are maintained at a constant temperature of 25 C. Within each room is also a food supply that weighs the same of the animal.”

a). If no other food was provided, which animal would likely survive the longest?
– I was thinking the gorilla because it has a smaller surface area to volume rate, but then as I kept thinking about it, I was thinking that it should be one of the smaller animals.

b). Explain which animal would have the highest oxygen consumption during a single day.
– This would be the largest animal, right?
