    Survival potential is how well or poor of a chance the animal has of surviving and living well in the wild. (i.e. the survival potential of a bear that’s been hit by a car is not good)
    reproductive potential is how how well or poor of a chance the animal has of thriving and reproducing…this term may be used if talking about an animal being released into the wild (whether or not it has a good reproductive potential with a future mate)
