...Such chasing, often referred as herding behaviour (Underwood 1982), helps males to keep females together and is observed throughout the year, while the mating itself takes place only during the rut in winter (Bekenov et al....

...In numerous ungulate species, time spent vigilant in response to potential risk increases as distance to visual obstruction (i.e., cover characteristics that might conceal a predator) decreases (e.g., Underwood 1982, Isvaran 2007, Moser et al. 2008)....

...Vigilance may serve a range of functions in group living animals (Fattorini & Ferretti, 2019), including anti-predatory behaviour (Elgar, 1989; Hunter & Skinner, 1998), monitoring of other herd members and scanning the environment for resources (Underwood, 1982)....

...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....
