Animal Behaviors

LS.5.3.1

BehaviorFacts
Meerkats: Hiding from predators Young meerkats immediately hide underground when a predator approaches, without ever having encountered a predator previously. This automatic response helps meerkats survive dangerous situations.
Meerkats: Learning to hunt scorpions safely Young meerkats observe step-by-step from adult meerkats how to carefully remove a scorpion’s stinger, making it safe to eat. Adults demonstrate this repeatedly until the young can do it themselves.
Otters: Swimming and floating Otters can swim and float immediately after birth without any practice or training. They naturally know how to navigate water from the moment they're born.
Otters: Using rocks to crack shells Otters can to use rocks as tools by observing older otters and then practicing the skill over time. This behavior requires trial and error to master.
Ravens: Building nests Ravens build nests in a consistent, species-specific manner without needing to watch other ravens first. Adult ravens follow these nest-building behaviors automatically.
Ravens: Solving puzzles to find food Ravens can learn to solve complicated puzzles or tasks to get food. They carefully observe and imitate successful techniques used by other ravens and experiment until successful.
Orangutans: Climbing trees Baby orangutans cling to their mothers and climb trees. They do not require explicit instruction for climbing safely.
Orangutans: Using leaves as umbrellas Young orangutans watch older orangutans use large leaves as umbrellas during rainstorms. They imitate this behavior, eventually mastering the skill themselves through repeated practice.
Monarch Butterflies: Migrating thousands of miles Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles each year, traveling to locations they've never visited, driven by internal cues and seasonal changes.
Monarch Butterflies: Avoiding predators Monarch butterflies have bright orange colors that warn predators of their bitter taste. Predators quickly learn to avoid brightly colored butterflies.
