An adult tiger will define/mark their territory by spraying urine on the surrounding trees. They do this because their urine gives off a strong odor that lasts up to 40 days.

The last 3 photos are examples of animals defending their territory. Animals defend their territory by fighting off unwanted company, such as predators and other animals trying to take their territory.

A niche is when a species is matched to a specific environmental condition. Two examples of this is a garden spider. Garden spiders are predators, they hunt for their prey amongst small plants.

There are 10 parts of a seagulls mating dance. Several parts include billing where one individual gently touches the others bill and sky pointing where the bird rises on the tips of its toes, stretches its neck and points its bill upward. As shown in the image above

Pheromones are chemical signals that have evolved from communication between members of the same species. Most pheromones are detected by the sense of smell.

Estivation is when animals slow their activity for the hot, dry summer months. During estivation many reptiles go underground where its cooler.

The difference between hibernation and estivation is that hibernation is longer and during the winter, and estivation is shorter and during the summer months.

An instinct is the ability to preform a behavior without thinking about it. For example the ability that spiders have to spin webs is a natural instinct that they have.

A learned behavior is a behavior that an organism develops as a result of something they experienced, or something they are taught. For example, when a dog is taught how to fetch a stick, after awhile they will automatically chase the stick when thrown.

Imprinting is a form of learning where an animal gains its sense of species identification. For example, a baby duck begins the process of imprinting shortly after hatching so that’s the fallow the correct adult.

Classical conditioning is learning through association. One of the best examples of this is the experiment done by Pavlov on his domestic dogs. He noticed that the smell of meat made his dogs drool, so he would ring a bell before giving them meat. The dogs soon learned that the bell meant that they were getting meat.

Trial and error learning is a type of learning in which an organism successively tries various responses in a situation, seemingly at random until one is successful in achieving the goal. For example, chicks might “learn” to peck before hatching as a result of the rhythmic beating of their heart, or they might have a pecking reflex and simply learn to associate a food reward with pecking at the parent's bill.

Habituation is usually considered to be a form of learning involving the elimination of behaviors hat are not needed by the animal. An example of this would be an abused cat, it would be very wary of human touch but once it realizes it new owner poses no threat, it becomes used to petting.

Migration means animals move from one area to another. For example monarch butterfly’s migrate to Mexico because the places they were staying before become too cold for this and food becomes too hard for them to find.

Excretion is the process animals use to get rid of waste products in their bodies. For example when a dog urinates outside that is excretion.

When animals use camouflage they use it as either a defense mechanism or, a way to capture their food. For example a chameleon can change the color of its skin in order to fit in, and hide in its surroundings in order to hide from predators or capture bugs to eat.

Unique movement is a way animals move that isn’t like any other. For example scientists studied caterpillars and found out that they have a “two-body” way of moving that hasn’t been previously reported in any other animal. The gut of the crawling caterpillar moves forward independently and in advance of the surrounding body wall and legs, not with them.

Carrying capacity defines a species average population size in a specific area, or habitat.

If there are too many animals in one place then it can get overpopulated and cause overbreeding which might lead to a decrease in food and water in that area

# data[].attributes.body
In one place there may not be enough food to feed all off the animals that are there which could cause some animals to starve  and mot be able to feed their babies

# data[].attributes.body
If there are lots of animals in one place then their might not be enough water for all of them to drink, there could also be a drought which could make their be less water for animals

Temperature plays a huge part part on the animals because certain animals need certain temperatures in order to live somewhere
