When we talk of surviving skills all the attention is centered on human beings but the challenges animals goes through in the wilderness is so huge than the human beings, when we talk of surviving strategies at the angle of animals we are talking about ways in which the animals survive and hopefully thrives in the environment that they live in with all the challenges from humans and their fellow animals, as well as the natural environment itself. We most understand that every species has their own unique way of living in this planet, some animals can fry, others can swim whilst others can do both, some animals even walk slowly other can run very fast. How animals behaves are determined by a lot of factors such as the way they life, forage for food, defend themselves, attract mates and built their own shelters etc. A lot of animals are also under the mercy of predators and they must develop survival skills to ensure that they live with all the challenges. We must also understand that all animals have their own individual unique features that carefully help them to survive in any situations that they find themselves in.

Some animals, like wolves and many big cuts have territories that they defend from other animals that they see them as competitors, this make this animals hunt on this areas and make it more likely for them to survive, because animals that are not strong enough do not survive in that same area. Some animals mark their territory using urine and simply patrolling the resources to ensure that no other animal comes there or by driving their competitors away always. Prey animals also develop a survival strategies so that their predators will not killed them for food. We must also understand that mother animals teach their children how to hunt for food so they too can survive in the environment. Human pollution and destruction of the environment all have a very big effect on the animals survival.
