\"Groom\"Groom<\/strong> it's a verb<\/strong> that can be used to refer to the action of polish, file, sand, smooth or perfect something<\/strong>. The act can develop, in different ways, in objects or living beings.<\/p>\n

For example: \"I must groom my helmet before the parade\"<\/em>, \"The government intends to spruce up public buildings so that they look shiny when presidents arrive\"<\/em>, \"The dog surprised people when he started grooming the lion cubs\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Grooming may refer to the cleaning and polishing of metal weapons<\/strong>. To groom a weapon, it is possible to use different oils<\/strong> and lotions that give it shine and that, in many cases, provide protection against rust.<\/p>\n

Sprucing up a facade or a wall, on the other hand, consists of beautifying the surface<\/strong> in question to improve your appearance. The action does not imply a structural or profound change, but rather a superficial one.<\/p>\n

In the animals<\/strong>, grooming is associated with taking care of the outside of your body. Grooming implies cleaning and deworming the skin or coat<\/strong>, in a behavior that is essential for their health and well-being.<\/p>\n

But grooming in animals is much more than the simple act of cleaning one's body; some of the main functions<\/strong> that fulfills this activity that most species carry out on a daily basis:<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> Although it focuses on the sanitation of the skin, coat and plumage, it also serves to eliminate certain external parasites and prevent some infections;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> keep the outer covering of some animals in good condition so that it can fulfill its function, whether it be waterproofing the Body<\/strong> or protect it from extreme temperatures;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> get rid of odors that may attract the attention of certain predators or, during hunting times, alert potential prey to their presence;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> impregnate your entire body with pheromones that your peers can smell. Pheromones are chemical substances that an individual secretes with the aim of causing certain behaviors in others of the same species through messages<\/strong> properly encoded, which can be detected at great distances. Two common examples of pheromone use are sexual attraction or rejection;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> birds must also groom their feathers to keep them in proper condition for flight;<\/p>\n

\"Groom\"*<\/strong> some species use grooming to get the best appearance<\/strong> possible during courtship season. Despite what many people believe, animals also have to struggle to find a mate in many cases.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that some species develop the so-called social grooming<\/strong>: that is, one animal is dedicated to grooming another, and in turn is groomed by a third party. In this case, the practice is not only used as a sanitizing mechanism, but also helps to establish links<\/strong> and conflict resolution.<\/p>\n

Although the most common example of social grooming we usually see in apes, there are many species that practice it; without going any further, dogs and cats are two species that sometimes resort to this form of communication<\/strong> to show respect or love to their colleagues, among other things that they will know better than us.<\/p>\n

Grooming can be different in each species. Insects, for example, use their feet to clean their antennae. The birds, who spend more time in this activity than in any other, rub their legs and their beaks, rearrange their feathers and smooth them. The Water<\/strong> It is the meeting point of many apparently diverse animals, and we also enter this group.<\/p>\n

A human being<\/strong> Lastly, it is groomed when shaving or waxing and combing for a neater and more groomed appearance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
