Saturated fats are typically found in which source and are what state at room temperature?

Typically found in animals and are solid at room temperature

Saturated fats have no double bonds between carbon atoms, so their fatty acid chains can pack tightly together. That tight packing raises their melting point, making them solid at room temperature. They are typically found in animal products like meat and dairy (butter, lard, fatty meats). By contrast, fats from plants are usually more unsaturated and liquid at room temperature, with some tropical plant fats being an exception. So the correct description is fats from animals that are solid at room temperature.
