Ducklings play follow-the-leader as a way to stay close to their mother, who serves as their protector and guide.

A type of learning in which an animal forms a bond to another organism shortly after birth or hatching?

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.
