Temperate zones climate varies between 40 and 70 degrees latitude, and that’s the reason it habitats for a variety of animal species. But in recent time, the temperature has risen to a higher level leading to an increase in pathogenic bacteria. This bacterium contaminates food items as well water that is consumed by the animals, thereby increasing illness and decreasing the number of animals surviving there.
