Plants and animals that thrive at a given latitude, will thrive at the same latitude elsewhere. Although it’s very unusual for animals and plants that thrive in one latitude to survive in a different latitude. As for migration towards the north and south it was very rare during that time due to moving through different latitudes and longitudes, which meant they traveled through different climates, day lengths, and different environmental
