From raising families to defending territory, Singapore’s wildlife faces many of the same challenges that humans do. Animals such as macaques, otters, civets, and snakes respond to their environment in ways shaped by social relationships and learned behaviours — much like us. In this talk, we explore the surprising parallels between human society and wildlife behaviour. Discover complex family dynamics, early-life experiences of young animals, strategies for avoiding conflict, and much more. By understanding the behavioural patterns behind these animals’ actions, we can replace fear with empathy and conflict with coexistence. Seeing wildlife as neighbours with their own social lives helps us make better choices that allow both people and animals to thrive in the same city.
