Hi, this is your safety net for our fall course. If you are having any problems, please read through the following comments. If you do not find a solution, please comment and I will respond…
Bring your questions about the deer inquiry activity for discussion here. We will be videoing red deer at Fossil Rim for our optional field trip. …more….
Callum wants to discuss these questions:
1. What behaviours do canines exhibit that are due to homeostatic needs?
2. What are the greatest behavioural changes between the domestic dog in comparison to its wild relative (the wolf)? Why have these changes come about?
3. What behaviours have kept constant between domesticated dogs and wolfs? Why is this so?
4. What behavioural mechanisms (instinctive and learnt) do domestic dogs use that would be required to survive in the wild?
5. How does a dog’s behaviour differ from the colder times of the year such as winter to the hotter summer months?
6. How does a canine’s behaviour differ with its age, sex and status in the pack?
