It may come as a surprise to many, but humans are not the only animals that give gifts. Across the natural world, animals engage in gift-giving for various reasons, including expressing gratitude or strengthening social bonds. __1__ This refers to a courtship strategy in which a male presents an offering to a female to increase his chances of mating. Such behavior is observed in certain species like snails, birds, and squid.
