AP State Board Syllabus 9th Class Biology Notes Chapter 7 Animal Behaviour<\/h2>\n

\u2192 Animal behaviour is influenced by many factors.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Animal behaviour is the scientific study of the wild and wonderful ways in which animals interact with each other, with other living beings, and with the environment<\/p>\n

\u2192 Both external and internal stimuli prompt behaviours.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Animal behaviour is studied as instinct, imprinting, conditioning and imitation.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Instinctual behaviours are inborn behaviours that need not be learned.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Making nests by birds, choose mates and forming groups for protection etc., are examples of instinctive behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Chickens and ducklings recognise their mother because of a behaviour type called imprinting.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Conditioning is a type of behaviour involving a response to a stimulus that is different from the natural one.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Ivan Pavlov conducted experiments on conditioning.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

\u2192 Imitation is a type of behaviour where one animal copies another animal.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Human behaviour is more complex because we are more intelligent and aware of ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Tagging help scientists follow the journeys the animals make.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Identifying or smelling the ability of dogs and searching and communicating the nature of ants is because of pheromones.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Beaver, a mammal, which lives in North America builds dams across water streams,<\/p>\n

\u2192 Dolphins have great logical thinking power.<\/p>\n

\u2192 In 1977 Ervin Pepperberg made learned more than 100 words to Alex, the grey parrot<\/p>\n

\u2192 Some animals spray bad smells through their body to protect from predators. e.g.:Tasmanian devil.<\/p>\n

\u2192 The scientific study of animal behaviour is called Ethology.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Instinct: This type of behaviour need not be learned. They are present from birth.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Reflex: These are also a type of instinctive behaviour. We do not have to learn this.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

\u2192 Imprinting: It is a type of behaviour. Recognition of mother by chickens and ducklings after they are hatched from the eggs.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Conditioning: It \u00a1s a type of behaviour involving a response to a stimulus that is different from the natural one. It \u00a1s a type of learned behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u2192 limitation: It \u00a1s a type of behaviour where one animal copies another animal.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Creativity: Make a new thing.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Ethology: It is the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Primates: The group of mammals that includes humans and monkeys.

\u2192 Konrad Lorenz (1903 to 1989) was an Austrian scientist who studied animal behaviour. He discovered that if he reared geese (give the local name of this) since they hatched; they became imprinted on him. They followed him around and preferred to be near him even when they had grown into adult geese.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Some animals spray bad smells through their body to protect from predators. The Tasmanian Devil is the worst smelling animal in the animal kingdom. We are also familiar with a beetle with a foul smell called Bombardier Beetle.
\n\"AP
\nIt has two chemicals hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide stored in its body. Whenever the beetle feels threatened, these chemicals mix with some special enzymes and that heat up the liquids, which gives out a bad smell from its body.<\/p>\n
