How do white Bengal tigers respond to a stimulus?

White Bengal tigers, like other tigers, respond to stimuli primarily through their keen senses of sight, hearing, and smell. When encountering a stimulus, such as prey or a potential threat, they may exhibit behaviors like stalking, crouching, or vocalizations to assess the situation. Their responses can vary based on the nature of the stimulus, whether it is a cue for hunting, establishing territory, or encountering other animals. Overall, their reactions are instinctual and aimed at survival in their natural habitat.

How are a stimulus and a response related?

They are directly related. Homeostasis is an environments ability to maintain stbility in a regular cycle, but when something new is introduced, the environment is able to respond to a new occurance, or stimulus, and responds in order to survive and return to maintaining a normal cycle. Without response to a new stimulus, environments would be unable to maintain homeostasis and would die out!
