The first definition you provided is correct. When something is described as "endemic," it means that it is native to a certain country or area. It refers to the natural occurrence or prevalence of a particular species, characteristic, disease, or phenomenon limited to a specific region. It can be used to describe plants, animals, cultures, traditions, languages, or diseases that are specific to a particular place and not found elsewhere.
