Blog 5: Chapter 10 If animals were capable of regeneration like a planarian, how do you think it would affect the ecosystem?

If animals were capable of regeneration, then it would make a big difference to the ecosystem. Animals would be able to survive a lot longer(for example: Their lifespans might increase, while they go through evolution). If an alligator gets its leg cut off by a hunter, then it would grow back slowly. It may even have a chance to live a little bit longer. This would save many animals from extinction or death from a violent predator. At the same time, animals may overpopulate and resources such as food and water would be risky to get. Regeneration for animals may be seen as beneficial or useless.
