Description
Animal Friendships by Anne Innis Dagg explores the complex social interactions of non-sexual bonding behaviours in mammals and birds. Through analysis of factors that trigger and deepen friendships, such as food sources, coalition formation, playdates, mutual grooming, and companionship, Dagg uncovers a world of intricate relationships. The book examines different types of friendships, including those between individuals, family groups, and even across species. It also showcases the ingenious field techniques used by researchers to understand animal social bonding. This in-depth study provides valuable insights for both researchers and students studying animal social behaviour. By delving into the science behind animal friendships, Dagg offers a unique perspective on the intricate social lives of animals, revealing the complexity and depth of their relationships.
