Explore how animals and humans estimate numbers, supported by brain mechanisms and innate numerical sense. Babies instinctively assess set sizes, revealing cross-species numerical abilities.
Animals alter their activity to avoid temperature extremes, favoring cooler mornings and evenings to reduce dehydration and heat stress, and sheltering during cold nights until sunrise.
Explore how animals adapt by changing behavior to fit environments, including the diving bell spider using an underwater air bubble and smaller species disguising as females to mate.
Explore how group decisions arise from majority voting, where minimum supporters guide stickleback fish travel direction and relocation judgments, with wild dogs and baboons illustrating predation risk reduction.
Explore how the sense of smell guides animal behavior, from locating food to scent marking territories and detecting danger. Note how the Jacobson's organ detects substances, aiding taste and smell.
Explore whether animals communicate across species, examining alarm calls, body language, and scent cues that reveal how predators and prey understand each other.
Learn how animals develop survival skills through play and social interaction, building strength and speed to escape predators, and master dominance, hunting, and defense across species.
When we talk of surviving skills all the attention is centered on human beings but the challenges animals goes through in the wilderness is so huge than the human beings, when we talk of surviving strategies at the angle of animals we are talking about ways in which the animals survive and hopefully thrives in the environment that they live in with all the challenges from humans and their fellow animals, as well as the natural environment itself. We most understand that every species has their own unique way of living in this planet, some animals can fry, others can swim whilst others can do both, some animals even walk slowly other can run very fast. How animals behaves are determined by a lot of factors such as the way they life, forage for food, defend themselves, attract mates and built their own shelters etc. A lot of animals are also under the mercy of predators and they must develop survival skills to ensure that they live with all the challenges. We must also understand that all animals have their own individual unique features that carefully help them to survive in any situations that they find themselves in.
Some animals, like wolves and many big cuts have territories that they defend from other animals that they see them as competitors, this make this animals hunt on this areas and make it more likely for them to survive, because animals that are not strong enough do not survive in that same area. Some animals mark their territory using urine and simply patrolling the resources to ensure that no other animal comes there or by driving their competitors away always. Prey animals also develop a survival strategies so that their predators will not killed them for food. We must also understand that mother animals teach their children how to hunt for food so they too can survive in the environment. Human pollution and destruction of the environment all have a very big effect on the animals survival. Animals need to be taken care all the time but let it always be in the mind of animal owners that, their behavior can change any day.
