Detailed explanation-1: -Animals communicate using signals, which can include visual; auditory, or sound-based; chemical, involving pheromones; or tactile, touch-based, cues. Communication behaviors can help animals find mates, establish dominance, defend territory, coordinate group behavior, and care for young.

Detailed explanation-2: -Social behavior consists of a set of interactions among individuals of the same species. A wide range of sociality occurs among animals. Some animals rarely if ever interact with one another, even when it comes to issues of parental care. Examples of relatively asocial animals include mosquitoes and polar bears.

Detailed explanation-3: -Communication is an adaptation that helps animals survive. Communication can be auditory, visual, tactile or chemical (tastes and smells!) Animals use communication to attract mates, warn off predators, mark territory and to identify themselves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Crickets and grasshoppers are well known for this, but many others use stridulation as well, including crustaceans, spiders, scorpions, wasps, ants, beetles, butterflies, moths, millipedes, and centipedes. Another means of auditory communication is the vibration of swim bladders in bony fish.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are five different types of social behavior among animals. These include aggressive, mutualistic, cooperative, altruistic, and parental, which are all based on the type of animal behavior.
