Learning objectives

Differentiate a species’ native range from locations where humans introduced it.
Relate habitat characteristics to an animal’s distribution.

Concepts and principles

Biogeography studies where organisms live and why; climate, ecological history and dispersal all matter.
Some species occur on more than one continent, so a one-continent mapping can be an educational simplification.

Examples and worked solutions

What continent is the red kangaroo native to?: Worked solution: Australia.

Try this activity

Choose the described learning mode first and inspect the animal information.
Before an assignment, explain one habitat or geographic clue that supports the choice.

Expected observations and explanations

A correct classroom match may depend on the particular species, not a broad animal category.

Assessment questions and answers

Why can “all bears live in North America” be misleading?: Answer: Different bear species are native to Europe, Asia and other regions as well.
