Hunting Types of Group Behavior Flocking Migrating Schooling Herding Swarming
Claim: Being part of a group increases your chance of survival Evidence: 1. Flocking A group of birds or animals that move together Reasoning Safety in numbers, easier foraging (finding food), protection from predators
Claim: Being part of a group increases your chance of survival Evidence: 2. Migrating seasonal movement of animals from one place to another, often long-distance

Claim: Being part of a group increases your chance of survival Evidence: 3. Schooling A group of fish swimming together Reasoning Schooling allows fish to swim longer, travel through colder temperatures, and avoid predators
Claim: Being part of a group increases your chance of survival Evidence: 4. Herding hoofed animals group together, eat and travel together Reasoning A herd provides protection from predators because while one animal has its head down for feeding, another will have its head up looking for predators. With more eyes looking for predators, it is more likely they will survive an attack.
