2. Bonobos: Bonobos are also highly social primates and live in relatively peaceful and egalitarian societies compared to other primates. They have a matrilineal society with females playing a significant role in decision-making and conflict resolution.
3. Gorillas: Gorillas live in social groups led by a dominant male, known as a silverback. They have strict social hierarchies and follow specific behavioral patterns, such as chest-beating and displays of strength to establish dominance.
4. Elephants: Elephants live in tight-knit family groups called herds, often led by a matriarchal figure. They exhibit strong social bonds and engage in collective behaviors such as communication, cooperative foraging, and protection of their young.
5. Lions: Lions are social cats that form prides. The prides consist of related females, their offspring, and a coalition of males who defend the territory and lead the group. Lions have complex social dynamics and engage in cooperative hunting and territorial behaviors.
6. Ants and Termites: These insects live in highly organized colonies with specialized roles for each individual, such as workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals. They exhibit elaborate social structures and cooperation, which allows them to thrive in complex rainforest ecosystems.
7. Naked Mole-Rats: Naked mole-rats are social rodents that live in underground colonies with a strict division of labor. They have a unique eusocial structure where only a few reproductive individuals (the queen and a few males) produce offspring, while others fulfill specialized tasks such as foraging and nest maintenance.
8. Social Spiders: Some species of spiders, such as army ants, live in large and highly organized colonies. They cooperate in tasks like foraging, hunting, and nest-building, showing remarkable social behavior and coordination within their colonies.
