Does Location Affects Some Animals Behaviour In Nigeria? by homesteady(m): 11:31am On Dec 05, 2014
Researcher - Prof. Homesteady

Thesis - Location affects some animals behaviour in Nigeria.

Animals involved - Agama Lizard and rats

Locations used - Kano, Kaduna and Benin - all in Nigeria. (kano and kaduna representing the North, and Benin representing the South )

Observation - In all my years of staying in the North, I see Lizards everyday and rats frequently. It was also a normal thing for them to run away when they see me coming, they won't even wait for me to raise my arm before they dash off.
But the whole story changed when I came to the South, I noticed the stubborn nature of the lizards first, I noticed that they were not afraid to come near me, they even had the guts to struggle for space on the road with me. for example, when I'm walking through a pathway, and a lizard is coming from the opposite side, in the North, the lizard will run away, but here in the South, the ugly lizard will just stay there and be looking at me 'eye to eye' hian undecided
Also, sometimes when I'm sitting outside, a lizard can just come and pass under my legs shocked it can be so scary sometimes. Lastly, they are also very ugly!

As for rats, hmmm na this one shock me pass grin I went to my friend's hostel one early morning like that, as I was passing I saw many rats, and I expected them to run away as usual, but instead they even kept coming close! my heart was already pounding thinking it was one of this poisonous rats, and it was coming to bite me, then I ran away oh gringrin THANKGOD people were not yet outside.
But in the North, who dash rat liver to see me and not run away?

Conclusion - Animals in the North are not as bold as their fellow counterparts in the South, hence, location affects animals behaviour in Nigeria!

Wonderful! Not only lizards and rats. Even goats too. I remember growing up in the North,the goats are too scare to go near human beings. But here in the South,the goats are not afraid. You just pass by them,and they will just stop what they are doing and start starring at you as if you are an alien from another planet.embarassed


At other time,goats in the Southern part are not afraid of coming near you when they are forraging for food. They are not even scared of brushing their bodies against you.grin

You fail to establish any relationship between location and how it affects animal relationship.
