Peeing on Plants: An Evolutionary Survival Trait Explained

[Ynsgfnsv]

Why do dogs and other creatures wee (me included) around plants, trees and anything resembling a lamp-post? ... methinks there is some hard-wired behavioural jobs a-go-go here.

If peeing on plants is an evolutionary survival trait ... one in which, said veg gets lashings of nutriment ... further up the 'chain', aniimals like us feed on the re-integrated faeces/disgusting bladder flush, to allow us to survive. It all makes perfect sense.

They do that to scent-mark their territory. It gives other dogs information about the marking dog such age and sex. And no it is not for the benefit of the plants.
