do animals change the way they act to help them reproduce

Yes, many animals change their behavior to increase their chances of reproducing. This is known as reproductive behavior or sexual behavior. These changes can manifest in numerous ways, including displaying specific mating rituals, attracting mates through elaborate displays or songs, engaging in complex courtship behaviors, competing with other individuals for access to mates, and providing care for offspring. These behaviors are often driven by the need to attract a mate, secure a successful mating opportunity, and ensure the survival of offspring for the continuation of their species.
