Many iceberg lilies are consumed by bears, yet that consumption helps the lilies survive.

Any hypothesis resolving this discrepancy must explain a mechanism by which bears eating the lilies helps the lily species survive.

It is irrelevant whether the bears eat the lilies they destroy. The lilies are killed regardless, so it remains unexplained why they benefit from the foraging.

This explains why the foraging bears help the iceberg lily species survive. If bears left the lilies alone, the lilies would deplete their resources and struggle accordingly.

This widens the discrepancy. If foraging bears reduce the number of lily flowers, then the bears make it more difficult for the lilies to reproduce.

This explains why many lilies are eaten by the bears, not why the lilies benefit from the bears’ foraging.

This explains why bears forage for the lilies, not why the lilies benefit from that foraging.
