They seek to satisfice, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice, their needs rather than obtaining an optimal diet or habitat. Even diurnal animals, having limited amount of daylight in which to accomplish their tasks, follow this pattern. Social activity comes in a distant third to eating and resting for foraging animals. When more times must be spent foraging, animals are more likely to sacrifice time spent on aggressive behavior than time spent resting.
