What is the wide range of species know as
Answers
Answer:
A species range is the area where a particular species can be found during its lifetime. Species range includes areas where individuals or communities may migrate or hibernate.
Explanation:
Food sources also affect species range. Living things can only survive in regions where they can find food. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) obtains almost all of its nutrients from various species of bamboo, especially dragon’s head bamboo (Fargesia dracocephala). The natural range of the giant panda is limited to the natural range of the dragon’s head bamboo, mostly the Qinling and Minshan mountains in western China.
When a food source disappears or alters its range, species that rely on it must find another food source, extend their range, or risk extinction. The range of the Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) is the cold, northern latitudes. It feeds mostly on small rodents such as lemmings. The Arctic fox is uniquely adapted to the Arctic and cannot change its range if lemmings become more difficult to hunt. (Lemmings are not rare or endangered. They only become more difficult to hunt when the Arctic fox must compete for the prey with other animals, such as the red fox.) However, Arctic foxes have other food sources in their range: seals, fish, and even carrion, or dead animals.
