Social Organisation

• Many animals occur in groups or colonies where animals are interdependent
• There is a social organisation evident in these groups (herds, packs, or swarms) or colonies that consists of various survival strategies
• These strategies help the animals to survive in their environment
• The forming of herds or swarms, to avoid predators; also known as anti-predation strategy
• The forming of packs or groups as a successful hunting strategy; also known as cooperative hunting
• Animals groups with prominent breeding pairs, where the sharing of tasks among different members of the group occurs
