Flora is the plant life occurring in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring or indigenousânative plant life. The corresponding term for animal life is fauna. Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora, as in the terms gut flora or skin flora. 1 Etymology.

Tail carriage of this type can also mean, âI accept my lowly role in the pack, and Iâm not out to challenge you in any way.â. 8 â All right, letâs talk about a few more examples of how a dog carries its tail.
