Life and death of feral horses: Predation by wolves and horses' recognition of death. (RI §421782)
Vida y muerte de caballos ferales: lobos depredadores y reacción cognitiva de los caballos ante la muerte - Monamie Ringhofer y Renata Mendonça
La relación entre el lobo y los caballos silvestres de Serra d’Arga, en Portugal, es de depredador-presa. Es este trabajo examinamos la percepción por los caballos de las heridas y muerte de otros individuos, aportándose datos clarificadores mediante la observación de la relación depredador-presa. Aumentando el conocimiento y comparando los datos y observaciones con los existentes relativos a otras especies nos permitirá comprender el fundamento de evolutivo de las habilidades cognitivas y de sociabilidad.
There is a prey-predator relationship between horses and wolves in the ecosystem of Serra d’Arga in Portugal. In this paper, we will consider the perception of horses for injury and death of other individuals, which has been clarified by observing this prey-predator relationship. Increasing the knowledge and comparing them with available data and observations of other animal species, will lead us to understand the evolutionary basis of animals' cognitive abilities and sociality.
