Answer:

- Scarcity of animals/fruits in some cases denied them regular food supply.
- Unfavorable weather conditions made it difficult to carry out activities.
- Locating animals/ fruits was difficult as it would involve large areas.
- It was time consuming as it involved chasing animals for long distances.
- Many people were required for the success of the activities.
