Detailed explanation-1: -A native species is found in a certain ecosystem due to natural processes such as natural distribution. The koala, for example, is native to Australia. No human intervention brought a native species to the area or influenced its spread to that area. Native species are also sometimes called indigenous species.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a species is indigenous, it’s found in a particular location or surrounding areas. An endemic species, however, is a native species found only in a picky area, large or small. Often an endemic species is confined to a certain area because they are highly adapted to the particular niche.
Detailed explanation-3: -A native species in a location is not necessarily also endemic to that location. Endemic species are exclusively found in a particular place. A native species may occur in areas other than the one under consideration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Endemic species are the ones that belong to a particular area, whereas, exotic species are those which belong to some other region but are introduced in a foreign region. Endemic species are restricted to a particular area whereas exotic species are not.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Endemic species are plant and animal species that are found in a particular geographical region and nowhere else in the world.
