What is the term for a group of animals of the same species confined to a specific geographical location?

The term that describes a group of animals of the same species confined to a specific geographical location is "herd." In a biological context, a herd refers to a number of animals that are usually of the same species and are typically social animals that live together and interact. This grouping often occurs in contexts where resources such as food and water are plentiful, and it can also facilitate social behavior and protection from predators.

While other terms like flock, pack, and colony are used to describe groups of specific animals (such as birds or wolves), "herd" is the most appropriate term for a general group of the same species living in a defined area. Flocks are typically birds, packs refer specifically to canines, and colonies are often used to describe certain species like insects or marine life. Thus, "herd" encompasses a wider variety of animals and aligns with the concept of those confined to a certain geographical space.
