do wild animals know somewhere as “home”?

274 viewsBiologyOther

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 :))

lol, it depends. Some animals are territorial, they stay at in one area, often even defend this area against other animals of their kind and have hiding- and sleeping places like pets at home, other animals move around. First it depends on the species, and sometimes even individuals of a species practice one and other the other behavior (e.g. the common bottlenose dolphin).
