WHAT DOES GREGARIOUSNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gregariousness

Social animal

Social animals are those animals which interact highly with other animals, usually of their own species, to the point of having a recognizable and distinct society. Many animals are social to the extent that mothers and offspring bond, and males and females interact to mate, but the term "social animal" is usually only applied when there is a level of social organization that goes beyond this, with permanent groups of adults living together, and relationships between individuals that endure from one encounter to another. The most commonly known example of a social animal is a domestic dog. In the case of social animals, it can be detrimental to their development to not have those social interactions, as they are crucial. These interactions and socializing will help to develop emotional stability and flexibility for the span of the animal's life. Sociality refers to the extent of organization of their social behavior. The levels of sociality include eusocial, presocial, subsocial, and parasocial. Animal social behavior and organization is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, sociobiology, behavioral ecology and computer science.
