i know with domesticated pets they’ve gotten used to a certain place as home, but with wild animals like lions and giraffes, do they have a spot that they consider “home” after they’ve gone hunting or do they keep travelling forever like nomads?
like what about birds? they migrate every so often, do they “come back” or do they just keep travelling onto the next new place?
just curious :))

Mammals often/usually scent-mark things as they go about their business. They build up more scent in areas they frequent. Lots of other animal groups use visual clues for their location. Birds have iron bearing tissue in their heads that act as magnetic compasses.
