Summary Introduction
Introduction: The action of behavior is carried by the muscles in control of nervous system in response to environmental stimulus. Thus the behavior of animal is the response from internal and external environmental stimulus. Although observed actions also considered the behavior of animal like aggressive posture or secretion of particular chemical to mark the territory and to attract mate. Even the process of learning is also considered the part of behavior.
