Dietary studies of the critically endangered mountain bongo show that its population decline correlates strongly with the loss of its preferred forage, a specific species of high-altitude bamboo. In an effort to reverse this decline, conservationists artificially replanted this bamboo species in several depleted habitats. However, bongo populations in those areas failed to recover. Botanists subsequently discovered that the replanted bamboo, though belonging to the exact same species as the original, was of a different subspecies. This replanted subspecies produces a bitter chemical compound that the bongos find unpalatable.
Based on the information above, the following statement is most strongly supported: Belonging to the mountain bongo's preferred species of bamboo is not a sufficient condition for a plant to be palatable to the mountain bongo.
