How does age affect animals behaviour?

Answer 1

Besides the obvious that as an animal ages it can become injured or weak, age affects an animals behavior in experience and physiological changes. juveniles usually do not exhibit mating behavior until they reach sexual maturity at some point in their life. (this age can be anywhere from a few weeks to decades). younger animals also tend to display less anti predatory behavior than adults, which suggests that experience can contribute to learned behavioral changes. If you are seeking more specific information post a more specific question in the discussion.

Answer 2

That depends on the species. In reptiles like crocodiles, young individuals hunt smaller prey until they grow large enough to kill larger prey. Young mammals are often more playful than adults. Adult carnivorous mammals have to hunt, which juveniles do not have to do, and they reproduce, which younger animals are not even capable of doing.
