    This document discusses animal behavior and ethology, the scientific study of animal behavior. It focuses on the collective behavior of animals, which describes the coordinated actions of large groups of similar animals. Some examples of collective animal behavior include flocks of birds, herds of ungulates, shoals of fish, Antarctic krill swarms, dolphin groups, and flocks of locusts. Living in groups provides animals social interaction, protection from predators, more efficient foraging, and increased locomotion efficiency.

    ANIMAL BEHAVIOR

    If we talk about animal behavior,


    we have to talk about ethology

    Ethology studies animal behavior


    from a scientific perspective. It has
    two objectives: to describe and
    explain the behavior of animals.

    In this case we will talk about the


    collective behavior of animals

    Collective behavior of animals

    FEATURES EXAMPLES

    What is it?

    - Flocks of birds

    - Social interaction - Herds of ungulates

    - Protection against C. B of Animals describes the - Shoal of fish


    predators coordinated behavior of large
    - Antarctic Krill Swarms
    - Better foraging groups of similar animals and the
    - Dolphin groups
    emergent properties of these
    - Increased
    locomotion groups. - Flocks of locusts
    efficiency
    - Anthill construction by ants

    My opinion
    It seems important to me to say
    Advantages that I believe that no living being Disadvantages
    is capable of living in complete
    isolation, which is why it is
    common for us to live in "herd" or
    A disadvantage could be that
    I think that living in a group in groups, we humans support each
