The ethological concept of species-typical behavior is based on the premise that certain behavioral similarities are shared by almost all members of a species. Some of these behaviors are unique to certain species, but to be 'species-typical,' they do not have to be unique—they simply have to be characteristic of that species. To understand the importance of species-typical behavior, think about an animal that looks exactly like a dog, but meows, refuses to play fetch, and climbs trees. It's not surprising that humans would find this animal confusing; we expect an animal that looks a certain way to act a certain way, and we associate those behaviors with that animal (e.g. the practice of meowing is associated with cats).

  • يستند المفهوم الإيثولوجي عن السلوك النموذجي للأنواع أو السلوك النموذجي للسلالات (بالإنجليزية: Species-typical behavior)‏ على فرضية أن بعض أوجه التشابه السلوكية يشترك فيها تقريبا جميع أفراد النوع. وبعض السلوكيات تكون فريدة من نوعها لبعض الأنواع، ولكن لكي تكون "نموذجية للأنواع"، فإنها لا يجب أن تكون فريدة من نوعها - أي أنها ببساطة يجب أن أن تكون سمة من سمات هذا النوع.
