Animal colonies are groups of the same species that live together in a specific area. These colonies can vary in size and structure, ranging from small groups to large communities. Common examples include ant colonies, bee hives, and termite mounds. Living in colonies helps animals share resources, protect each other from predators, and raise their young more effectively. In many colonies, individuals have specific roles or tasks. For instance, in a bee colony, there are worker bees, drones, and a queen bee, each performing different functions to ensure the colony's survival. This social structure allows for efficient cooperation and communication among members.
