Endemic versus Generalist Species
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An endemic species occurs naturally only within a small geographic area; a generalist species occurs across a wide range of areas and conditions.
Show
The Venus flytrap is endemic to a small Carolina area; the raccoon is a generalist ranging across North and Central America.
Watch for
Endemic does not mean rare — an endemic species can be locally abundant within its narrow range.
