Animal Congregation

　　Many types of animals combine the advantages of family association with those

　　conferred by membership in still larger groups. Bees congregate in hives; some fish move

　　in schools; ants gather in mounds; wolves live in packs; deer associate in herds. The main

　　Line advantage of membership in a mass community is the safety that it provides. A large group

　　(5) of prey may be easier for a predator to find at any given point than is a small one, and

　　a predator may think twice before taking on such a group; if a predator does decide to

　　challenge a large group, it may merely encounter a confusing mass of moving bodies and

　　possibly may not succeed in its primary goal.
