Interactions Among Animals




                     In a habitat, usually there are many animals of the same or
                     different species. These animals will interact with each other to
                     meet their basic needs for survival.






                                         What is the meaning of interaction?

                                     Interaction is an active relationship among
                                     living things that are dependent upon each
                                     other. The interaction between the same
                                     species is known as intraspecies interaction
                                     while the interaction between different species
                                     is known as interspecies interaction.

                                    Intraspecies and interspecies interactions
                                    may occur either in the form of cooperation
                                    or competition.

                                                   to build their nest.
