| dc.description.abstract | The marking and mating behaviour of captive hunting dogs, Lycaon pictus, is described. Urine scent-marking was the most frequent marking behaviour observed, but anal dragging, body-rolling and body-rubbing were also recorded. The mating behaviour was typical of that of Canidae but the copulatory tie in this case was of very short duration. There was a dense accumulation of sebaceous glands in the praeputium and these secretions are probably important in the urine scent-marking. There is no tail gland in L. pictus. | en_ZA |
