Re: Really like this quote – dominance

[kizkiznobite]

there are many studies recorded…mech, schenkel for example…the bbc did a brill series on african dogs showing exactly what i described when a female gave birth and the pack manager took the pups and excluded the biological mother from the den… african dogs live and hunt in packs and yes males assist in raising the pups and many remain with their pack for life but the females leave their birth pack upon maturing to join/create a pack with no or only much lower ranking females and usually only one female breeds unless…as i said she is unable to for what ever reason….

Jayne Goodall’s video ..dogs of africa..made in 1973… also documents the behaviour of the ranking female re pups from a lower status female

and please dree…actually read what posts say eh?  did i say the female manager went hunting when there are pups or she not fit….?  ::)

what i said was she ‘set’s’ them for the hunt and may plan the hunt depending on her level of stamina…as in if she is able to leave the den she will go and hunt with her mate…..

and as far as i recall ‘innocent killers’ was predominantly about the spotted hyena was it not  :-\….with parts re i think jackals and a touch on african dogs…unless i am getting mixed up with some of her other work…
