A mountain lion would be more affected by biomagnification compared to a buffalo. This is because mountain lions are apex predators that occupy a higher trophic level in the food chain, resulting in a greater accumulation of toxins, such as heavy metals and pesticides, as they consume prey that has already absorbed these substances. In contrast, buffalo, being herbivores, are lower on the food chain and thus experience less accumulation of toxins. Consequently, the impact of biomagnification is more pronounced in species like mountain lions.
