The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for larger animals that have not been reported as pollinators in some species. 2. **Identifying Larger Animals**: We need to consider what constitutes a "larger animal." In the context of pollination, larger animals typically refer to mammals or birds, rather than insects or small creatures. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: The options provided include: - Tree Dwelling Rodents - Lemurs - Gecko Lizards - Garden Lizards - Shrews 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Tree Dwelling Rodents**: These are not considered large animals and are not known for their role in pollination. - **Lemurs**: These are larger primates and have been reported as pollinators for some plant species. - **Gecko Lizards**: Generally, these are small reptiles and are not known for pollination. - **Garden Lizards**: Similar to geckos, garden lizards are also small and not typically involved in pollination. - **Shrews**: These are small, mole-like mammals and are not considered large animals. They are also not commonly recognized as pollinators. 5. **Conclusion**: The larger animals that have not been reported as pollinators in some species include Tree Dwelling Rodents, Gecko Lizards, Garden Lizards, and Shrews. Among these, Shrews are specifically noted as small and not large animals. **Final Answer**: Larger animals that have not been reported as pollinators in some species include Tree Dwelling Rodents, Gecko Lizards, Garden Lizards, and Shrews. ---
