Animal communities are groups of different species that live together in a specific habitat. These communities can include various animals, such as mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles, all interacting with one another and their environment. Each species plays a unique role, contributing to the overall balance and health of the ecosystem. In these communities, animals often rely on each other for food, shelter, and protection. For example, predators may help control the population of herbivores, while pollinators assist in the reproduction of plants. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of biodiversity in maintaining healthy animal communities.
