1. Why do animals live in groups?
Animals gain a lot of benefits from spending time together with other members of the same species. This is called group behaviour. Animals like tiger, bear etc live in solitary (alone). Some animals live in small groups (Eg. Pride of a few lions) and some live as larger herd (E.g. Herd of thousands of wilde beest).
Group behaviour is also called social behaviour. Members of the group work together to find food, defend themselves and look after the young ones. E.g. All the fish in a school move together, following their leader in the front. Staying in a group helps the small fish appear big. The main purpose of group behaviour is to help animals survive in nature.
