 | Central Question: What may cause a species to stay put, or decide to leave its traditional range? Guiding Thought Question: Use the idea of Tolerance Ranges from the homework article to explain why a species (such as a snow leopard) may suddenly migrate outside their typical range. Today's Learning Objective: Students will be looking at a number of range theories and associated examples to apply the theories to real-life examples to determine their relevance. |

If the temperature has changed in the area where the snow leopard lives the snow leopard will move to colder climates which could be out of its normal range.

Snow leopards have a limited tolerance range, such as temperature. If their typical range is no longer conducive to their tolerances they may migrate out to find a better area. For example if their typical range is too hot, they will move to a colder area

Snow leopards have adapted over time to live in the climate they are in. As the climate changes they have to move in order to survive

The snow leopard may migrate because the climate has changed in its environment and its tolerance range isn’t as suitable to the environment anymore(colder/hotter)

They may migrate due to their food migrating, or because of climate change, or territory.

It could be a variety of reasons; pH level, climate, atmospheric conditions, etc.

Species may be inclined to move outside the tolerance range because of lack of food, lack of space (because of deforestation, human activity, melting, or over population of their species), or because climate change is causing the temperatures to become undesireable. For fish, the amount oxygen in the water influences their tolerance range.

they will migrate where it is cold

If the environment the snow leopard is living in has changed then the snow leopard will move out of its normal range. Also if the animals the snow leopard depends on are no longer in the environment or it’s harder to find them then the snow leopard will move to areas where it can find its prey.

They may migrate due to loss of food or habitat

Any significant change in climate that causes the animals comfort zone to shift can potentially lead to and increase or decrease of range. Other reasons are lack or abundance of food or water.

Climate change is one of the main reasons why snow leopards have moved. The snow of their environment has melted and the area that they live in has gotten warmer and warmer.

Snow leopards may suddenly migrate outside of their typical range because they have a limited tolerance range. As the temperature increasingly gets warmer, the snow leopards can't adapt fast enough so they are forced to move somewhere where the weather is colder.

a species may go out of its ranger because they need to find more food or there is more competition. it is also possible for them to move because of climate change.

Snow leopards can only live in a certain climate because of their fur and coloration. So, if their area gets warmer they could overheat and stick out because of the lack of snow causing them to move somewhere colder.

Snow leopards can only live in cool climates. If the climate warms, snow leopards will move to somewhere cooler.

the snow leopard might migrate out of its area because of temperature change and maybe if the food in that area shifts areas

Since climate change is a thing, we could say that if there isn't enough snow then the snow leopards will migrate out to places that will have snow.

Snow leopards may move due to temperature changes, food loss or habitat loss.

If the temperature changes in a certain area then some animals may need to leave because its to hot or because it to cold

animals live where they can handle living that they are built for.

The snow leopard is migrating do to climate change the temperature is going up and the leopard has adapted to fit into the colder habitat.

A species could go out of its normal range because their environment changes (i.e. temperature, snow, etc.). The snow leopard thrives in colder temperatures, and can camouflage in with the snow. They can't tolerate warmer temperatures, and can't camouflage in a green forest. If their normal range were to change at a disadvantage to the leopard, they will move in order for them to survive.
