Do any other species in the animal kingdom bicker over skin color and who there species are attracted to?

I know humans do, but do you ever see any other animals attacking there own species because they look different? Or because they are attracted to the same sex?|||Birds are very aware of color. Males with brighter plumage are more likely to get a female than a duler male. Male birds will attack other males due to coloration. In Red-winged Blackbirds, a male going into an unknown territory will refrain from showing too much of his red wing patches. If he shows them he will be attacked by resident males, as he will be seen as a threat. The less he shows of his bright wings, the more likely he will go unnoticed.|||i%26#039;ve seen a big black rat(male) kill 2 lighter littler rats(male)|||Yes..frequently individuals within a species ostracize members of their own species because of size, color, attitude and other items. you will note that there are intra species fights and warring over territory, food and other concerns that might threaten certain individuals. You will note that lion males kill cubs of other males to insure that their line goes on instead of the line of the cubs father.





Might want to pay attention instead of thinking you are discovering a universal truth and talking point. I know you are trying to be deep and thought provoking but you are missing the point that all animals interact with each other with violence. Chimpanzees are noted murderers, not the neat little monkey in diapers as they have been portrayed on TV.





Your point?
