ANIMALS FEEDING BEHAVIOR
BEHAVIOUR BEHAVIOUR
CARABAO -The Carabao is
herbivorous animal and
the water buffalo
therefore has a purely
vegetarian diet.
-Water buffaloes thrive on
many aquatic plants and
during floods, will graze
submerged, raising their
heads above the water
and carrying quantities of
edible plants.
- Green fodders are used
widely for intensive milk
production and for
fattening.
CATTLE - Show a pattern of
circling the feed with their
nose and nibbling
- Feeds will fall off their
mouths and you see holes
burrowed in the feed in
attempts to look for
fresh,finer,and palatable
feed
REPRODUCTIVE
THE ANIMAL
- Carabaos breed
throughout the year
between August and
January.
- Dry season usually
offsets the fertility of the
Carabaos. The semen
quality is adversely
affected; resulting in poor
conception rate.
-It is important to
separate the male
caracalves from the
females to prevent
premature breeding.
-First Fertile Mating ---
from 2 years 4 months to
2 years 6 months.
-Water buffalo females
generally produce a single
offspring after a gestation
of 10 to 11 months.

too clumsily to care for
themselves. Water buffalo
cost more to purchase
than cattle but are
favoured by Asian dairy
farmers and rice because
they produce larger
amounts of richer, buttery
milk for long period of
time and they are ideal
for plowing rice fields
because they like the
water and are stronger
than cattle or oxen.

(invisible boundary)
- Pushing head against
each other while planting
their feet on the ground
with both exerting force
against each other.
 - Forage fibre is cut long,
cows will sort through and
eat the palatable ones.
CROCODILE Crocodiles hunt along the
edges of swamps, rivers
and canals where
unsuspecting animals and
birds come to drink and
feed. They use stealth to
approach their prey then
trap it in their jaws and
drag it into the water
where it is drowned and
eaten.

Dance
- Males begin bellowing
above water which
produces low frequency
infrasound ( not audible
by humans )
- They also produce an
oily musk which floats
on the surface of water
- Males also snap their
snout on the water, blow
water from their noses or
perform certain arched
postures
- Once they meet up,
they’ll gently rub each
other’s snout and backs.
- When the couple is
ready, they’ll try to align
their “cloaca” ( waste and
reproductive orifice )
then inseminates the
female with his hidden
penis
- they are polygamous
- can mate year- round
and reach sexual maturity
between 5-13 (female)
and 10-14 (male)
Crocodile presents an
extremely dangerous
threat, causing the
amygdala to instantly
send an emergency signal
to the hypothalamus. This
area of the brain is like a
command center that
communicates with the
rest of the body,
activating the sympathetic
nervous system in an
alarming situation
-When threatend or
attacked, dolphins use
their speed ang agility to
hit predators
Crocodiles are territorial
when it comes to
dominance, they mark
territory with headslaps
upon water with just
snapping of their jaws.
Dominant crocodiles have
better access to mates,
nesting sites, basking sites
and living space.
Crocodiles will set aside
territoriality during times
of climatic drought or
crisis, in order to increase
the survival of all.
Crocodiles rarely combat,
but when they do, they
will line up and brutally
bang their heads together
and bite. Fights are pretty
common to crocodiles but
when they do, they will
try to overpower each
other until the other party
is unable to battle or
exhausted. They
communicate through
posture, motion, odor,
touch and sound.
