The instinct of reproduction is inherent in all animals. However after the posterity was born, animals differently belong to it. Some types abandon kids already one or two weeks later, others methodically are engaged in training of younger generation.
Instruction
1. As a rule, less responsibly the small small animals capable to bring on several issues in a year treat the posterity. For small rodents touching care of children is not peculiar. The female spends time with cubs while those are blind and helpless, feeding them with milk and preserving against predators, and two-three weeks later small animals already have to become independent. They can develop the instincts put in them, watching mother and other members of pack.
2. Larger animals whose posterity is smaller and long matures, approach training of cubs with all responsibility, on own example showing them skills which will be useful in life. The female of a deer will teach the kid what plants should be eaten and as it is better to hide at danger. And if the inexperienced fawn tarries, the female will push him towards the shelter.
3. Predators, in turn, train the children in hunting. The female accustoms them to an adult diet gradually, at first feeding up them the semi-digested meat, then bringing the killed production, then – wounded with which the posterity will manage to cope in a den. Over time the female, and in certain cases and a male, takes cubs on hunting where animals together track down, catch up and kill the victim.
4. Monkeys is the look which is most close standing to the person therefore their cubs undergo comprehensive training. Besides necessary skills – that is and how to leave from danger, chimpanzees teach the cubs to rules of conduct. Scientists found out that the monkeys who grew without mothers behaved aggressively and were not able to interact with other members of pack normally. Adult monkeys transfer to kids and the knowledge – for example, technologies of splitting of nuts or ways of use of sticks, and in each pack can be the techniques in which train descendants.
