ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR
Animals exhibit a wide range of behaviors that are used for a variety of purposes, including reproduction, social engagement, and survival.
These actions can be categorized into a number of groups, including:
1. Foraging activities, such as looking for and obtaining food
2. Reproductive actions, such as courtship, sex, and childrearing.
3. Social behaviors, such as cooperation, hostility, and communication.
4. Migration and homing habits, such as going to particular places at particular times.
5. Anti-predator behaviors, including running away from or fighting off predators.
6. Taking care of others by feeding, protecting, and grooming
7. Play activities, which include actions that are taken only for fun or to develop one’s physical or cognitive abilities.
Animals can also display learned behaviors, which differ from innate behaviors in that they are learned through experience or observation.
Understanding animal behavior can help with conservation and management initiatives as well as provide insight into the natural environment.
