Why do animals cuddle with each other and what animals do this?

Answer 1

Well, first of all, animals cuddle with each other when they want warmth or protection. Most animals do this. I mean think about it, why do humans cuddle? Is not a thorow answer. The answer is animals do this to keep warm so they aren't too cold. Some animals do this because they have to, to survive. Others do this for protection, which I will give credit to the first person who answered this. But, the first person who answered this left out what animals do this. Meerkats & maybe lions do this, but these are not the only animals to do this. That is my edit to this answer. (:

Answer 2

Animals cuddle with each other for warmth, comfort, security, and social bonding. Some animals that exhibit cuddling behavior include primates, such as chimpanzees and bonobos, elephants, dolphins, dogs, and various bird species.
