摘要: Although nursing non-filial offspring (allonursing) represents costly behaviour to the female, it occurs in a variety of taxa, including ungulates. The only three currently existing species zebra differ their ecology and social system. In wild, mountain Equus Grevy’s grevyi live arid environments, while plains quagga inhabit savannahs. Mountain mares form long-term stable herds associated with hierarchy, whereas loose associations short duration. this study, we investigated occurrence allosuckling at
