Detailed explanation-1: -What are endemic species? Endemic species are plant and animal species that are found in a particular geographical region and nowhere else in the world. Some species are endemic to a continent while others can be endemic to an island. E.g., Lemurs of Madagascar and Tortoises of Galapagos.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endemism is a term used in biology to talk about the distribution of a taxon limited to a small geographic area and which can therefore be found naturally in this place. In consequence, endemic species are those that live in a limited area, such as a mountain range, lake or island, among others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endemic species-species that are only found in one particular location-are also found in hotspots.

Detailed explanation-4: -An endemic species can be defined as a species that occurs naturally and exclusively, and it is highly adapted to a specific geographic area [6, 7, 8, 9].

Detailed explanation-5: -Endemic species are those plants and animals that exist only in one geographical region. Species can be endemic to large or small areas of the world. Some may be endemic to the particular continent; some are endemic to a part of a continent, and others to a single island.
