Summary "Zwischen Pol und Äquator: Tiergeographische Lebensbilder" by Kurt Floericke is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the field of animal geography, exploring the distribution of animal life across various environments from the poles to the equator, while also discussing the underlying ecological and geographical factors that influence these distributions. The opening of the book presents the author's intention to explore how different animals adapt to their respective environments, highlighting the efforts of certain well-meaning individuals who attempt to introduce foreign species into new habitats. Floericke reflects on both successful and unsuccessful cases of animal introduction, emphasizing the complex relationship between animals and their habitats. He opens with specific examples of attempts to acclimatize exotic birds and mammals in Germany, illustrating the repercussions of these efforts on local ecosystems. The text sets the stage for a broader analysis of animal distribution and emphasizes the importance of understanding the ecological bounds and conditions necessary for each species' survival.
