Suckling behavior in captive plains zebra (Equus burchellii): Sex differences in foal behavior

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We predicted that the proportion of suckling attempts rejected and terminated by the mother would be greater for female foals than male foals, based on parent offspring conflict theory and on the assumption that throughout the study, all zebra mothers were in good condition because of captivity. We presumed that an increasing rate of suckling terminated or rejected by a mother would indicate a decreasing effort by the mother to invest in her offspring. We observed foals of captive plains zebras at the Dvur Kralove Zoo, Czech Republic. We found that the probability of successful suckling tended to increase with increasing age of the female foals, but decreased with increasing age of the male foals. The proportion of suckling bouts terminated by the mother decreased with increasing age of the female foals, but not the male foals Our results indicate that conflict between mothers and female foals was less than that between mothers and male foals.
