ELI5:If you catch a small animal such as a squirrel or toad and move it miles away then release it, what does it do?

does it just make a new home with new animals or what?

Scientific research has concluded that in such instances the animal will attempt to return to its "home", with the stipulation that's it's place of origin is not to far away. If the animal were to be moved to great a distance, say 50 or more miles, the animal will move about for a bit but eventually make its home where it is at, rather than continue searching. As for congregating with other animals, well that depends on the species. Of course mammals are more inclined to socialize with other animals within its species, in comparisons with reptiles or amphibians.
