Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:

The territory of an animal is larger than its home range.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

An animal’s home range is the area over which it regularly moves and lives, which is generally larger in extent than the territory. The territory is a smaller, specific area that the animal actively defends, unlike the home range, where it may roam freely without defense. Hence, the territory is smaller than the home range, not larger.
