Male Penguins are slaves of their physical structure
Animal behavior is predictable. Their behavioral tendencies are influenced by the relationship of its anatomy to their environment. By observing various forms of life, and associating the mechanism of their abilities to perform a behavioral action, evolutionary influence thereafter, can be analyzed and deduced from that point.
The science and study of animal behavior involve an enormous array of complicated factors. For
instance, stereotyped responses are unlearned behavioral reactions to some environmental stimulus
predicated upon an organism relationship to its physical environment and anatomy. This obviously begs
the question, is the observable animal behavior a form of deliberate taxis or random kinesis? However, to properly be able to address those questions, its far more important to examine the intricate factors involving the complex interactions between the effects of environmental stimuli towards the affected anatomical structure and physiological function of a specific organ system of those particular animal species. In short, an animals behavior about a particular type of movement is predicated upon the environmental clues, which directly influence the innate survival mechanisms of a species or its anatomical configuration with evolutionary fitness.
However, inasmuch as some forms of animal behavior can be easily be analyzed by a simple stimulus and
response scenario, such as with earthworms and brine shrimp. Others such as the behavior of
penguins are far more complicated. Penguins are flightless birds. Because of their physical size,
they inherently have a larger cerebral capacity. This anatomical characteristic complicates the qualitative
analysis of penguin mating behavior tremendously. Largely because, penguins have the physical capacity
of conscious thought, interactive communication immersed in a sheath of innate unlearned behavior.
Male penguins during the mating season are territorially aggressive due to the imbalance of testosterone
within their system, and female penguins are passive and somewhat behaviorally more submissive due to
the higher amounts of estrogen within their systems. Furthermore, because the endocrine system is such an incredible catalyst for a volatile explosion of metabolic energy, I anticipate that male penguin behavior during mating season will only be overtly exhibited for the purposes of reproductive behavior and territorial defense.
To conclude, animals regardless of species are physiologically dependent upon their specific anatomical
construction. Certain simple behavioral responses are involuntary due to survival necessity, while others
can be influence by environmental stimuli. But no matter, what the stimulus might have been that
initiated a particular animals behavior, the overall motor behavioral reaction will be dictated by the specific animals evolutionary genetic configuration. This is the premise for ultimate cause and evolutionary fitness.
For the most part, animal behavior is not a randomly exercised action. Creatures despite size, order in the food chain, anatomical complexity or cognitive capacity all are dependent upon the relationship of their
physical structure and how it integrates with their environment.
