One population of Pacific northwest garter snakes live in coastal forests, where it hunts the banana slugs common on the forest floor. The other population lives inland, where there are no banana slugs. Inland snakes eat fishes and tadpoles. When researchers offered a slug to newborn garter snakes, offspring of coastal snakes ate it, but offspring of inland snakes ignored it. How did researchers
