Activity patterns of giraffe calves and calf‐mother distances have been studied as functions of age and sex of the calf in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Particular attention was paid to the nature of the cow calf bond, suckling behavior, the social development of the calf, relationships between calves and between mother‐calf pairs in calf groups, and the anti‐predator behavior of mother and calf.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
