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.
