Animal Behavior

Animal behavior refers to the range of actions and reactions exhibited by animals in response to their environment, other organisms, or internal stimuli. It encompasses a variety of activities, including foraging, mating, communication, social interactions, navigation, and aggression. The study of animal behavior examines how these behaviors evolve, the underlying biological mechanisms, and how they are influenced by genetics and environmental factors. Researchers in this field may observe animals in their natural habitats or in controlled settings to gain insights into their behavior patterns, social structures, and cognitive processes. Animal behavior plays a crucial role in understanding species adaptation, survival, and the dynamics of ecosystems.
