Question

The Sikhote- Alin Mountains, and the Siberian tigers living on them, are separated from other mountain regions in which the tigers could live. The mountains are an example of a/an __________.

Choose one answer.
a. mass extirpation
b. invasive species
c. mass extinction
d. habitat fragment

Answer 1

I believe the answer to this question is (D) habitat fragment. Habitat fragmentation is the process in which the loss of habitat causes a division in a larger habitat, resulting in smaller areas that are isolated from each other. In this the tigers are separated from other inhabitable nearby areas.
