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.

What is the offspring of a turkey?
The offspring of a turkey is called a poult. Poults are born with downy feathers and are capable of walking and feeding themselves shortly after hatching. They stay with their mother for protection and guidance.
When is imprinting most likely to ocur?
Imprinting is most likely to occur during a specific critical period shortly after birth or hatching, when a young animal forms a strong bond with its caregiver. This process helps the animal recognize and attach to the caregiver for survival and social development.
Which is not a characteristic of imprinting It is inherited. It cannot be changed. The mother must be present. It is a survival behavior.?
The characteristic that is not true of imprinting is that "the mother must be present." Imprinting typically occurs during a sensitive period shortly after birth or hatching, and it can happen with any object or figure that the young animal encounters, not just its biological mother. Other options, like being inherited, unchangeable, and a survival behavior, are accurate descriptions of imprinting.

What type of fossil is bird tracks in snow?
Bird tracks in snow are not fossils, because snow melts and gets covered up by more snow, and so the bird that made them is probably still alive. (If it died shortly after and the tracks were still there, then they might be considered a trace fossil. ;))
What occours when an animal forms a social bond with another organism shortly after birth or hatching?
When an animal forms a social bond shortly after birth or hatching, it often engages in a process called imprinting. This critical period allows the young organism to recognize and attach to a caregiver or parent figure, which is essential for survival and development. The bond typically influences future behaviors, social interactions, and even mating choices. Imprinting is most commonly observed in birds, but it can also occur in other species.

When do signets start to swim?
Signets, or young swans, typically begin to swim shortly after hatching, usually within a day or two. They are precocial birds, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile from the moment of birth. Swimming is instinctual for them, and they often join their parents on the water for protection and learning. By the age of a few weeks, they become more proficient swimmers.
Will chicks imprint on humans?
Yes, chicks can imprint on humans, especially during the critical period shortly after hatching. Imprinting is a form of learning where young animals recognize and follow the first moving object they encounter, which is often their mother. If handled gently and frequently, chicks may view humans as their caregivers. However, this bond may not be as strong as that formed with their biological mothers.
