What animal's behavior did Jenner describe in zoology?
Cuckoo
Sparrow
Eagle
Owl
Answer
Cuckoo, a bird known for its unusual breeding behavior, was described by Edward Jenner in his zoological studies. Jenner observed that cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the host species to raise their young. This behavior, known as brood parasitism, allows cuckoos to avoid the energetic costs of nest-building and chick-rearing, while ensuring the survival of their own offspring.
