Three major challenges face the design of disruptively patterned uniforms. Firstly, units frequently move from one terrain to another, where the background colours and contrasts may differ greatly. A uniform designed for woodland will be too strongly contrasting for desert use, and too green for urban use.

Unsolved problems relating to the behaviour of animals include: Homing. A satisfactory explanation for the neurobiological mechanisms that allow homing in animals has yet to be found. Flocking (behavior). How flocks of birds and bats coordinate their movements so quickly is not fully understood.
Animal ability to process and respond to stimuli is correlated with brain size. Small-brain animals tend to show simple behaviors that are less dependent on learning than those of large-brained animals. Vertebrates, particularly mammals, have larger brains and complex behavior that changes with experience.
This is particularly true for smaller animals like cats and dogs if they happen to get too close to a peacock nest. Male peacocks can get aggressive during mating season and will be more ...
Thorndike concluded that the animal solved the task mechanically, without understanding the causal link between string-pulling and escaping. A conceptually similar experiment involved pre-training four logging Asian elephants to remove food from a cover-less bucket by inserting their trunk into the bucket. [ 80 ]
Benchmarks, for those unfamiliar, are challenges that all computers try to solve to help us humans understand which one is the fastest, or best at solving a particular problem.
Animals and language: How much human language can animals be taught to use? How much of animal communication can be said to have the same properties as human language (e.g. compositionality of bird calls as syntax)? [5] What role does linguistic intuition play, how is it formed and how does it function? Is it closely linked to exposure to a ...
