Ontario Hunting License Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is considered an animal's home range?

Its nesting or sleeping area

The area it defends from others

The area it travels over during yearly activities

An animal's home range is the area in which it travels and conducts its daily activities, such as foraging, mating, and raising young. Option A is incorrect because while an animal may nest or sleep within its home range, it is not the defining factor of a home range. Option B is incorrect because an animal's home range does not necessarily correspond to its territory and can overlap with other animals' territories. Option D is incorrect because while some animal species may use scent marks to indicate a mating territory, it is not a defining characteristic of a home range. Therefore, option C is the best answer as it encompasses the wide range of activities an animal conducts in its home range.
