Antipredator behaviour of domestic guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The objective of this study was to test the reactions of domestic guinea pigs to the presence of aerial and terrestrial predators in laboratory setting. We measured behavioural reactions of 27 adolescent guinea pigs to presence of a dog, imitation of a bird of prey and an unknown human as control. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U Test were used to analyze the differences in duration and frequency of responses (freezing, fleeing and vigilance) to predators. When confronted with the dog, animals reacted for the longest time and most frequently by freezing. In presence of the bird of prey, they responded for a longest time and most often by freezing and fleeing. In presence of a human, they showed mostly vigilance. In comparison with reactions to the dog and human, there were differences in duration and frequency of freezing and fleeing. When comparing reactions to bird of prey and control test, we observed differences between fleeing and vigilance. The durations and frequencies of freezing, flee
