Animal Cities (concept)

Animal cities are natural or constructed environments where animals congregate and interact as social communities. These can be physical habitats like beaver lodges, bee hives, or bird nesting colonies, which function like cities with specialized roles and organized structures. Such communities enhance survival, cooperation, and resource sharing among members. The concept highlights how animals create complex, multidimensional systems similar to human urban areas, emphasizing social behavior, territoriality, and resource management. Essentially, animal cities demonstrate how animals adapt their environment to support collective living and efficient functioning within their species.
