Living Together or In solitary

Hello! This is my first time to write a blog and hope you all will like it. As for the first post, I would like to present a lesson about living things. So before we start, we must know the meaning of living things. How to differentiate between living and non-living things? Let's have a look on this presentation to know more about it.




Living things such as animals can live either individually or within their own groups. Try to observe the surroundings of us. Do u see animals that live together or solitary? The most often we see a group of animal is ants. They stay together most of the time. The main reason of animals stay in group is to survive and escape from enemies. As for spider, it creates web and lives in solitary. Due to the limited of food, some animals prefer to stay alone to avoid the competition of food. 

We can see the examples below to illustrate the animals are either living together or solitary.

Some animals they help each other to stay safely such as antelope and baboon.


The main reason they cooperate is to against predators who try to eat them. Antelope is good in sense of hearing and smell the presence of enemy that will attack while baboon has a sharp eyesight and can be a strong fighter to protect themselves. In this case, they are helping each other to anticipate any enemies that are approaching toward them.
