Best Answer

Filial imprinting is typically between the organism and its parent. In ducks, for example, a hatchling will very quickly imprint on the animal that takes care of it-- the mother duck, in most cases. The ducklings will often then follow the mother around. This allows the ducklings to quickly learn survival tactics from the mother necessary for their survival.
