...The visibility-vigilance hypothesis proposes that in areas with reduced or obstructed visibility (indirect cue of risk of predation) where it is difficult to visually detect predators, prey increase vigilance behavior (Arenz and Leger, 1997; Barri et al., 2012; Bednekoff and Blumstein, 2009; Goldsmith, 1990; Hernández et al., 2005; Martella et al., 1995; Metcalfe, 1984; Underwood, 1982; Whittingham et al., 2004)....

...Such habitat differences may have influenced the evolution of social and anti-predator behaviour in antelope (GEIST, 1974; JARMAN, 1974; ESTES, 1974) and may also affect both predator and prey behaviour on a day to day basis (SCHALLER, 1972; KRUUK, 1972; CURIO, 1976; EDMUNDS, 1974)....

...If scanning reduces predation, it may take up less of the large animals' time either because both the number and the range of potential predators are smaller (JARMAN, 1974; GEIST, 1974), or because these antelope, being found in large groups, either are (a) less easy for a predator to find, (b) share vigilance with other group members (CARACAO et al....

...The smaller and, according to JARMAN (1974), the more selective species are those which show significant correlations between the rate of looking and indices of feeding success, supporting the possibility that scanning forms a part of foraging behaviour....
