- Standing – cow, ewe, goat, mare
- Recumbant (lateral) – sow, bitch, queen
- Multiple young soon develop teat order
- ‘Maternal bonding’ - critical timing influences chance of fostering
- Head butting (‘tap’ reflex) esp. in sheep
- Nursing persists for variable times, up to 2 years in horses
- Retrieval behaviour in small animals
- Aggression and defensive behaviour in many species
