Animal behaviour has been something that we as our own species are fascinated with, we want to know what makes an animal tick, why does the cat flick its tail upwards whilst sometimes it “wags” it side to side. Behaviour of animals has become such interesting topic over the past few years as we seek answers to why animals do the things they do.
The major idea that underpins my research is the why, why and how does the Elephants drinking behaviour change as it gets hotter, how does it change as it gets colder. The Anatomy of the Elephant very well may hold the key to the answer as their enormous weight is matched to a small surface area (relative).
