### p1002 the needs of different animals leads to differences in regional herding practices > but the species emphasized by particular herding groups within this ecogeographic zone - including sheep, goat, cattle, yak, camel, horse, and others - vary widely according to local environmental conditions and/or cultural choices. Eurasian domestic livestock species differ in terms of their food and water requirements. Some taxa, like cattle, require high daily water intake and grazing over a limited spatial range, while others, like horse, move frequently over larger ranges to meet their energetic and nutritional needs. These differences in animal ecology underlie differences in the prevalence of specific domestic taxa, the degree of residential mobility practiced, and the role of other subsistence inputs (like grains and agriculture) in regional economies. - [i] Added to: - [[differences in herding cattle vs horses]] - [[Geography Is Destiny Tweetstorm]] - [[Early Pastoral Economies and Herding Transitions in Eastern Eurasia#p1002 the needs of different animals leads to differences in regional herding practices|View in Vault]]
