The environment is one of the major factors for anime behavior. In fact, many animals respond to the regular variation in the environment with day-to-day or seasonal cycles of behavior. For example, an animal can be very active during the warm season, and dormant during the cold season or vice versa. This behavior is classified as **dormancy**.

Another type of behavior that is related to the environment is called **migration**. This is the periodic movement of the animal from one place to another, This behavior allows the animal to attain favorable environmental conditions (example: the presence of food source from a certain habitat.)

Members of society often have a more significant advantage in terms of survival. This is because mostly the members of the society are closely related to each other, thus individuals can share genes that can cause relative survival and adaptation, and pass these genes along to their offspring easily. In this way, it improves a population’s evolutionary fitness.

Moreover, members of society are safer from predators as they can be a part of the group rather than living or hunting alone. Animals within a society improve how they hunt, feed, or graze, and they learn to innovate how to protect their territory and young ones.

Animals communicate with each other using visual cues, sound, touch, or chemical signals. On the other hand, humans use language, such as gestures, symbols, and sounds, to communicate.

A courtship ritual is when one animal sends out stimuli in order to attract the opposite sex for mating and reproduction. An example is when a male Peacock displays its well-colored tail to the female in order to attract the female peacock.

**Communication** is an exhibition of behavior in which animals passed information from one species to another. Animals may communicate through sound, touch, chemical signal, or language.

Dolphin species communicate through sounds. Bottlenose dolphins in specific uses unique sound signals that gesture their “signature” in order to let others know that they are sending information to them.

The more emphasized the sense organs are, the more likely that these organs are used for communication and stimuli detection. Visual displays can serve as means of communication for other organisms, for example, squids have large eyes, therefore they communicate by visual signals.
