520			_aOver the last few years the desire to understand the animal world has increased dramatically. Animal behaviour is now a rapidly growing field and many prior understandings of the behavior, characteristics and communication of animals are being rewritten. The big question, how and why do animals behave the way they do, is far from being comprehensively answered, but the emergence of a new generation of animal behaviourists is helping to begin the answering of this and other questions. The study and interpretation of the natural behavior of animals is a fascinating subject and those who choose to study animal behavior are concerned with understanding the causes, functions and evolution of behavior. There is an increasing need for humans to take an element of responsibility towards animals and their welfare. Not just for domestic pets but for wild animals, who are having to adapt to new environments as a result of climate change and the effects that this is having on the natural habitats of some wild animals. Understanding animal behavior can be important in animal training. Considering the natural behaviors of different species or breeds enables the trainer to select the individuals best suited to perform the reuiqred task. This is an essential source of reference for students and teachers of zoology as well as naturalists. --Back cover of the book.
