Why Animals Live in Groups
Group living helps animals survive in many ways:
- Hunting: cooperate to catch larger prey (wolves)
- Warmth: share body heat in cold conditions (penguins)
- Protection: lookouts warn the group of danger (meerkats)
- Confusion: move together to confuse predators (fish, starlings)
