A chemical released by an animal, that affects the behavior of other animals of the same species
Real World Example
Imagine you walk into a room and instantly smell freshly baked cookies, making you feel hungry and eager to find the source. Similarly, pheromones are like these enticing scents that animals release, which influence the behavior of other animals of the same species. Just as the smell of cookies can change your mood and make you act by searching for them, pheromones trigger specific behaviors or physiological responses in other animals, guiding their actions and interactions.
