Abstract The gut microbiome of animals varies by age, diet, and habitat, and directly influences individual health. Similarly, variation in an individual’s home range can lead to differences in feeding strategies and fitness. Ungulates (hooved mammals) exhibit species-specific microbiomes and habita...
