Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Animal Behaviour for Biology 3.3
Year 13 - 13 | Year 13 Biology
Observe and discuss animals’ behaviour and link them to key concepts. Topics include: intraspecific and interspecific relationships, hierarchies, reproductive strategies and group living.
Activities on this day
Can you speak Capuchin? Is that Monkey angry or hungry? Through guided observations, students will explore the behaviours of animals at Wellington Zoo. We will investigate some strategies animals use to find and defend resources, different ways of communicating and building relationships, how they reproduce and care for young; as well as strategies to avoid predators. With support, the students will be encouraged to discuss the advantages or disadvantages of the behavioural strategies they have observed.
Learning Outcomes
• Identify and explain how animals’ behaviours influence their ways of life. • Identify and explain how animals’ behaviours influence their ways of life.
• Discuss how behavioural adaptations enable animals to occupy an environmental niche.
