This means that theoretically, almost any behaviour could become abnormal in an individual.
These behaviors sometimes share characteristics with obsessive-compulsive behavior, including a high degree of similarity in form and use among many individuals and a repetitive dimension. There are many observable animal behaviors with characteristic, highly conserved patterns. One example is grooming behavior in rats. This behavior is defined ...

[1] In contrast, human activities such as military deception are certainly intentional, even when they involve methods such as camouflage which physically ...
So far, scientists have proved that around 65 species of animals engage in behaviors similar to laughter, and most do so during playful activities. Most of them are primates, but also include ...
When social interactions amongst birds are absent or inadequate, abnormal social behaviour may develop. For example, a study regarding parrots that had been isolated in cages demonstrated that most birds showing this social deprivation had significant behavioural disturbances, such as aggressive behaviour, feather picking, self-mutilation ...
