Animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other biological resources.

picture info	People From Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.

In medical contexts, the meaning of deafness is hearing loss that precludes a person from understanding spoken language, an audiological condition.
