Many animals are social to the extent that mothers and offspring bond, and males and females interact to mate, but the term "social animal" is usually only applied when there is a level of social organization that goes beyond this, with permanent groups of adults living together, and relationships between individuals that endure from one encounter to another.

These interactions and socializing help to develop emotional stability and flexibility for the span of the animal's life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social animal )〕 The antonym to a social animal is a solitary animal.
