Aquatic fauna is the animal life that depends on water for all or a defined part of its life cycle. It includes freshwater animals in rivers, lakes, wetlands and groundwater; marine animals in coastal waters, open oceans and the seafloor; animals of brackish estuaries; and species whose aquatic dependence is limited to feeding, breeding, migration […]

Terrestrial fauna is the animal life that lives on land or depends on land for feeding, shelter, movement, reproduction, or part of its life cycle. It includes animals on the ground, in vegetation, beneath the soil, inside caves, on exposed rock, and in terrestrial airspace. The term describes ecological use rather than a single branch

Regional fauna is the animal life associated with a defined geographic area. It changes from place to place because climate, elevation, water connections, habitat structure, physical barriers, evolutionary history, seasonal movement, and human transport determine which animals can reach a region, survive there, and maintain populations. The word “region” does not refer to one fixed

Endemic fauna are animal taxa whose natural global range is confined to a defined geographic area. That area may be a single cave, lake, island, archipelago, mountain system, watershed, country, or biogeographic region. Some endemic animals evolved after populations became isolated; others are surviving remnants of lineages that once occupied a wider range. Endemism Connects

Native fauna is the animal life that occurs within its natural geographic range, including places it occupies now, occupied historically, or could reach through natural dispersal without direct or indirect human introduction. The term describes an animal’s geographic origin and relationship to a defined place; it does not describe how rare, threatened, abundant or ecologically

Wildlife and fauna overlap, but they are not interchangeable. Fauna is the collective animal life within a stated place, habitat, taxonomic scope, or period.[a] Wildlife usually refers to organisms understood as living wild rather than domesticated, although institutions may restrict the word to selected animal groups or extend it beyond animals.[b] A free-living fox in

Fauna is the animal life associated with a particular place, habitat, geological period, or other defined scope. Flora is the corresponding plant life. A wetland’s frogs, fish, insects, mollusks, birds, and mammals form part of its fauna, while its reeds, sedges, mosses, shrubs, and trees form part of its flora. The Difference Is Which Organisms

Fauna means the animal life associated with a defined place, environment, geological period, or other biological scope. The fauna of an island may include every animal group documented there, while terms such as bird fauna, cave fauna, freshwater fauna, or Pleistocene fauna describe narrower assemblages. Fauna is therefore a collective biological term, not the name
