While an animal can survive (determined by lab tests)between the temperatures of 10^$\circ$C and 30^$\circ$C,we find in nature that it only occurs between 16^$\circ$C and 28^$\circ$C.This is the difference between the fundamental niche and the realized niche of the animal.

The statement compares the lab-tested temperature range of an animal with the temperature range it actually occupies in nature. That is, the first temperature range is the animal's fundamental niche, while the second is its realized niche. The statement confirms that there is a difference between the two ranges, with the animal only occurring within a narrower temperature range in nature. Therefore, the statement is true.
