Sheep in the Northern temperate region produce wool of good apparel quality. Similarly, in climatically alike areas of southern hills, the Nilgiri sheep also produce wool of similar quality. This, however, goes down as we move from Northern temperate to North-western region where sheep produce wool of superior to coarse quality. Sheep of the Southern peninsular region either produce no wool or very little of 36s quality and are primarily used for meat production. The same is the position in the Eastern region as the area is of very high humidity and is not suitable for extensive sheep raising, especially for wool.

Anadromous fishes (those that spend most of their lives in the sea but migrate to freshwater to spawn) such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) also have unique migratory patterns. After spawning, the adults die. Newly hatched fish (alevin) emerge from spawned eggs and develop.
