What does agonistic behaviour look like in bears!!?

Question

Does any1 know what agonistic behaviour looks like in bears?

Answer 1

Agonistic behavior refers to any action that an organsm takes that benefits another.. For example, monkeys will groom each other to get rid of parasites, bats will regurgitate food for another bat who was unlucky at hunting. Agonistic behavior in bears would include sharing food or l*****g the wounds of another bear. Female bears will put themselves in danger to protect their cubs. Other than that, I can't really think of any other bear activities that would be considered "agonistic"

Answer 2

head swinging with the headf held low, rocking back and forward wilst standing still

Answer 3

fieldgunner1 has described stereotypical behaviours, or stereotipies as they are also termed.

An agonism or agonistic behaviour is infact a survivalist animal behaviour that includes aggression, defense, and avoidance.

Agonistic behaviours between bears would include, submissive behaviours, fighting, and fleeing from one another. You may want to do further research to expand on this.
