    Default Animal Behavior

    Most of the major categories of adaptive behavior can be seen in all animals. This course begins with the evolution of behavior, the driver of nervous system evolution, reviewed using concepts developed in ethology, sociobiology, other comparative studies, and in studies of brain evolution. The roles of various types of plasticity are considered, as well as foraging and feeding, defensive and aggressive behavior, courtship and reproduction, migration and navigation, social activities and communication, with contributions of inherited patterns and cognitive abilities. Both field and laboratory based studies are reviewed; and finally, human behavior is considered within the context of primate studies.

    Actually animals perform 2 types of behavior like as instinctive behavior and learned behavior . But animals can sometime turn a bit wayward and start to do odd or crazy things. Cats can make smells and dogs can turn downright nasty.
