Species found only in a particular area and nowhere else in the world are called endemic species.
- Such species are confined to a specific geographical location such as mountain ranges, lakes, islands, etc.
- Endemic species are the most vulnerable of all and hence face the greatest threat of extinction, either by natural or man-made causes.
- Due to their isolated groups, there is minimal genetic exchange and radiation. This drives the emergence of endemism and its species.
- Examples of endemic species are fynbos of South Africa, the red sequoia in California, pandas found in China, and polar bears in the arctic region.
