This study investigates foraging patterns influenced by environmental factors such as entrance types, food availability, and natural habitats like ponds and trees. We explore trials testing the choices of adult males, females, and juveniles in a controlled setting, comparing their responses to various stimuli such as "Person," "Car," "Flower," and "Chair." The research aims to understand how animals adapt their foraging behaviors based on the complexity of their surroundings and the presence of rivals.
