Interindividual behavioural differences in wild populations have been widely described during the last decades (Plomin, 1990; Wilson, 1998a, 1998b; Dall et al., 2004; Coppens et al., 2010). Within a population, some individuals can be consistently more active, more aggressive or more prone to take risks than others, even when it might not be the most adaptive response to a challenge. These consistent interindividual behavioural differences are referred to as animal personality (Dall et al., 2004; Réale et al., 2010). Animal personality can be found in several fitness-relevant behaviours such as aggressiveness, exploration, boldness and reproduction (Dall et al., 2004; Réale and Festa-Bianchet, 2003;

The fact that animal personality is consistent within individuals suggests that its ultimate causation has, at least, some intrinsic factors to individuals (Dall et al., 2004; Réale et al., 2007).

Unlike cotton wipes or food, chemical substances are difficult to eliminate from sewage waters and often they reach natural waterways. Considering that the monoaminergic system is highly preserved throughout the animal kingdom several ecological implications that need rise from this
Throughout the years there have been many tyrannical rulers. Although these leaders have very abusive regimes many of them stay in power because of use of manipulative methods. In George Orwells Animal Farm these methods are demonstrated in an allegory of the Russian Revolution. In this novella a farm of animals work together to revolt against their owner Mr Jones in order to escape his tyrannical rule.

The concept of personality has fascinated psychologists for years. Allport proposed the hierarchy of traits – cardinal, central, and secondary traits (Allport, 1945). Cattell also proposed his theory, the sixteen dimensions of human personality (Cattell, 1944). Jung developed a type-based theory of personality, with different dichotomous personality categories, which was further developed by Myers and Briggs in 1962 to produce the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Ford, 2013). Some psychologists have even argued that personality does not exist; that people change behaviour over time and across various situations.

Wondering why animals act a certain way is possibly a question that can never be answered correctly. Asking why animals act a certain way in an environment though, now that may be a question that can be answered! It has become a proven fact that animals act differently in every different environment and around every different animal or person. For instance, take a lion that is being taken from his home environment to a zoo. Of course, that lion is going to act up before he gets used to his environment because of different reasons like the space, or the other animals, or the food and even the training.
