Answer:

Habituation may be useful for animals since it is a way of lost fear of humans so they can have food in an easy way.

Step-by-step explanation:

Habituation happens when a person or an animal has the opportunity to live repeated stimuli so with the time it, he or she, stops responding to that stimulus. For example, pigeons at the park are commonly habituated animals. If a person comes close trying to feed them, the pigeons would fly away. But, after this happens many times, the pigeons come close because they have become less afraid of people, and a person can come closer. Habituation is dangerous for animals and people though because both can be unintentionally harmed by each other.
