This article would explore how the principles of physics are deeply embedded in the lives of various animals, offering a unique perspective on the intersection between physics and life science. Each section of the article would focus on a different aspect of animal behaviour and adaptation. Each of these phenomena involves intricate physical mechanisms that influence animal navigation, communication, and survival. It has been tried to have an intersection of animal physics, quantum mechanics, and acoustics. We delve into the fascinating phenomena of quantum magnetoreception, acoustic signaling, and biomechanical locomotion observed in animals through the lens of physics, we explore how magnetic fields and light emissions interact with biological systems to enhance our understanding of animal behaviour and adaptation.
