This assignment will ask you to identify and analyze a particular Animal Behavior of your choice. Follow the steps below:
Pick an animal - Sharks
Search for a video of that animal doing something
You can use any free and accessible video source - YouTube, Google, Bing, etc.
For example, I went on YouTube and simply searched "Clown Fish"
Find a video of SOME behavior of that animal - whether it's a reaction, learning, action, etc.
Pick one of Niko Tinbergen's questions to apply to the video:
What stimulus elicits the behavior, and what physiological mechanisms mediate the response?
How does the animal’s experience during growth and development influence the response mechanisms?
How does the behavior aid survival and reproduction? Survival value
What is the behavior’s evolutionary history?
Develop a prediction that answers your chosen question as it applies to the video.
Consider, how might you be able to test that prediction?
