True or False: Risky behaviors seen in adolescent animals is always beneficial. Use evidence from the text to support your response.
"Human "adolescents frequently put themselves in danger deliberately," the authors write. "Adolescent risk-taking is seen throughout the animal world." The result is that adolescence can be pretty dangerous for animals, ranging from fish to birds to mammals. For young animals that have big bodies but little life experience, there are higher chances of death because "they are easy prey," Natterson-Horowitz said. One reason for possible death is that they engage in behaviors that are risky but beneficial, Bowers said. An example is a practice called "predator inspection." This is when animals approach predators rather than fleeing. The trade-off for the danger of getting close is that adolescent animals watch, smell and learn about the predator. They gather all kinds of information that can keep them safer as adults. The idea that adolescents take risks because it is an instinct gives the behavior of human teens a new perspective. Human teens have their own version of predator inspection, Bowers said. Teens seem driven to chase new things, test boundaries and have experiences."
