The Geographical Distribution of Animals

The geographical distribution of animals refers to where different species live across the world. Factors like climate, terrain, and available food influence these patterns. For example, polar bears are found in Arctic regions with cold temperatures, while kangaroos thrive in Australia's grasslands and forests. Some animals are highly specialized, suited to specific environments, while others are more adaptable. This distribution results from evolutionary history, migration, and environmental changes. Understanding these patterns helps us see how animals are connected to their habitats and why certain species are unique to particular regions.
