social animals

Social animals are species that engage in cooperative behaviors and live in groups, which can enhance their survival and reproductive success. Examples include elephants, lions, and many primates. These animals communicate, share resources, and provide protection against predators. Their social structures can be complex, with hierarchies and roles within the group, such as leaders or caregivers. Living in social groups can help individuals learn from each other and increase their chances of finding food and mates. Overall, social behavior plays a crucial role in the ecology and evolution of these species.
