Like people, animals need to stay in touch with one another. Through vocalization, body language, and even odors, animals exchange information about vital matters such as food, danger, and reproduction. Some adult animals not only feed their young, but also provide protection from enemies and bad weather and even teach hunting and survival techniques. Whatever its structure, the family plays a vital role in the success and survival of the young and the species. Animal shelters range from burrows and caves to lodges and nests.
Many factors affect shelter selection, including the user's physical design and lifestyle.
