Effect of ecological adaptation on suckling behaviour in three zebra species
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The three existing zebra species differ in their ecology: in the wild, mountain (Equus zebra) and Grevy?s zebra (Equus grevyi) live in an arid environment while plains zebra (Equus quagga) inhabit savannah. Interspeci?c differences in maternal care in terms of suckling bout duration and frequency are thought to be based on the ecological adaptations of equid species. However, other studies showed that suckling bout duration and frequency cannot re?ect maternal investment. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate the suggestion of previous studies that suckling behaviour is in?uenced by environmental adaptations in equids using rejection and termination of suckling bouts in three captive zebra species kept in the same facility. Suckling behaviour of allthree zebra species was observed over a period of 31 months at the Dvůr Králové Zoo, Czech Republic. We found that Grevy?s and mountain zebra showed a lower rate of rejection and termination of suckling bouts by the mother than plains ze
