Overview

This observational report reveals allonursing in gaur, indicating social flexibility in translocated populations.

Key Points

  • The observation of allonursing provides first evidence of alloparental care in gaur.
  • A lactating female was filmed nursing a non-filial calf, showing social flexibility.
  • The findings suggest behavioral flexibility is crucial for conservation-driven translocations.
  • Understanding allonursing may enhance population management strategies for gaur.
