Geographic Distribution
Lepomis Auritus tends to be more of a cool river species, but also inhabits fresh water lakes and streams in Eastern North America ranging from Canada down the Atlantic slope to the Southeastern United States around central Florida. The sunfish species has been introduced as far west as Louisiana and Western Texas. Native range of the sunfish is a relatively large area with the species new introduction points not straying far from its native habitats. Eastern North America provides the Redbreast Sunfish with habitat and forage necessary to survive and thrive in its diverse native habitat.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
