When it comes to the word ‘Behavior’ the only thing we imagine at the first place is the ‘human behavior’, the way of treating or greeting each other or the manners we showcase among us, but the term ‘behavioral biology’ defines a very broad field that involves the study of various habits and mechanism shown by the animals, including ‘we’ the humans too. The food and feeding behaviors, communication, social interactions, kin selection, mating and parental care, all these events plays a pivotal role in maintaining the day to day life in this rapidly changing environment which could be clearly noticeable. The behavior shown by the animals could amaze us to such an extent which can lead to the curiosity that would only be get settled by knowing more and more about them. This paper attempts to explore the wide range of behavioral patterns shown by the animals, the factors causing them and their significant effects on their ethological strategies, the mechanism of survival with respect to the changing environment, reproductive fitness among them and their inherited or acquired characters which increases their tendency to interact with each other.
