The rather limited human ability to understand animal vision and visual signalling has
frequently clouded our expectations concerning the visual abilities of other animals. But …

Inter‐animal communication allows signals released by an animal to be perceived by others.
Scent‐marking is the primary mode of such communication in giant pandas (Ailuropoda …

Rubbing against various objects or self‐anointing with pungent substances are behaviours
observed in many mammal species. The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a non‐territorial …
