Ecological Isolation

Ecological, or habitat, isolation occurs when two species that could interbreed
do not because the species live in different areas.

For example, in India both the lion and tiger exist and are capable of
interbreeding;

however, the lion lives in the grasslands and the tiger lives in the forest.
The two species live in different habitats and will not encounter one another:
each is isolated from the other species.
