Detailed explanation-1: -Living in groups provides animals with many benefits. A large group of animals is less likely to be bothered by predators, there are more females to care for and protect the young, and more members to look for food sources. Working together provides them with more opportunities for survival than living alone does.
Detailed explanation-2: -While there are many benefits to living in a social group there are also significant cons. While animals living in a group are more likely to be able to defend themselves against predators, they also bring more attention to themselves and are more likely to be spotted by a predator, putting their infants at risk.
Detailed explanation-3: -They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize.

Most households in the United States have at least one pet.
Detailed explanation-4: -In mammals, sociality can be beneficial for individuals because it provides greater protection from predators, enhances success in locating or maintaining access to resources, creates mating opportunities or reduces vulnerability to infanticide.
