The book contains twenty one chapters and many of them are chiefly emphasized. Territoriality, Feeding and antipredatory behaviour, Biological communication, Orientation and succinctly described. Chapter pair more attention are Selection of habitat, Pattern of behaviour, Motivation, Sexual behaviour, Biological clock, Sexual behaviour, Sexual variation in human being, Behaviour of embryo, Fighting behaviour, Parental care, Social behaviour, Human behaviour, and Defensive behaviour.
